It occurs to me that some vendor references might be pertinent, i.e., PKI Innovations Inc. (http://www.pk3i.com).

Matt, The use of computing that you cut was the result of some cogitation. I was trying to make clear in the wording that there are multiple uses, not merely in overt crypto or overt computer security. PKIs are hidden from view in many contexts and not all of them are either. For instance, copyright protection is commercial and would use squirrels if there were any prospect of it working. That it uses (or misuses, misapplies, goofs badly, ...) crypto, and claims to be a computer security issue is another thing altogether. The point was worth making, though perhaps it was made too covertly. Have you a suggestion? ww 19:50, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- The real purpose of putting "In field F, ..." at the start of articles is to provide the reader with some context about what general domain he's reading about. If the clause is too wordy, then I think it lessens the usefulness. — Matt 20:04, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
