Re: gnome-keyring trust assertions



I know people hate to discuss terminology, but I cannot resist :-)

In the IETF PKIX community (e.g. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5934) the term "trust anchor" is used, instead of the unadorned (and highly overloaded, etc.) "trust". So this could be "trust anchor assertions" or "trust anchor properties". And we would need to cringe a little less...

And regarding the spec: please spell "IPsec" consistently (and this is the common way to spell it). What do you mean by the "IPsec Tunnel" purpose? Shouldn't it be "IPsec Gateway" instead? BTW, that is the canonical reference for values of the Extended Key Usage Field? Note that RFC 3280 has been obsoleted by RFC 5280.

Thanks,
Yaron

I'm ready to merge the trust-store branch into master. It introduces a
whole bunch of changes to gnome-keyring, most of which relate to the
storage of trust assertions.

Comments, review, more than welcome!
