Server-signatures: Re: proposed key usaged text -- the final round



Hi Guys,
I just wonder how your NR-text matches server-based signatures.
The following text of yours indicates some problems in this area:


    >The protection afforded private keys is a critical factor in main-
    >taining security. On a small scale, failure of users to protect

"entity owning the private keys" used in other places looks like a
good replacement for user.   Or why not start with a definition of
user that can be both a person or a device and that
a person can be the owner or just be a trusted user (employee) of said private keys?
