[wellylug] Re: CA-CERT Assurance

[Chris Hodgetts]

I am interested , and not that I want to turn this political or anything
...

However because I don't personally believe in the state sanctioned
ID'ing of it's Citizens, and the fact that the drivers licence was not
to be used as a form of ID, as stated by the minister of Transport when
the plan for the government to break a binding contract with the people,
with out the peoples consent, was announced.

And because I have never traveled outside this country, and I figure if
the a certain political party get in and screw the country around even
more, I can take a boat and claim political asylum in Australia with out
the need for a passport, or I could even get a fake one, destroy it on
the plane, and then claim political asylum like someone who is currently
sitting in one of our prison cells at the moment costing me money, and
because Australia is only monitoring it's top half, it will be
unsuspecting me to turn up from below, I do not have a passport.

This leaves me with no form of ID that you require to validate my self
to get a digital certificate.

You say, and I quote:

"CA-Cert is a relatively new project, based on the assumption that
security should be available to all and that cost does not equate with
quality."

"Should be available to all" -

I would be keen if you could please advise me on other forms of ID that
one would require that are considered "Valid".

Plus there are some members of the LUG that are too young to drive, are
you going to discriminate against them too, because they don't have a
Government issued ID card?
