I am sorry to hear there were failures in the past in some 
unspecified standards organization.  As it seems we can't learn 
anything from this previous failure due to lack of detail 
about it, we can only forge onward with the information at hand:
that creating a public/private key on a device and wrapping 
a certificate around it is easy and can be done on any device 
capable of being a VoIP endpoint.
