Many vendors also supported public-key digital certificates, using standards-based, or their own proprietary, certificate authorities. TimeStep took the digital certificate and certification authority scheme the most seriously with Permit Enterprise. The company includes a copy of Entrust's certificate authority and an X.500 directory in its enterprise management suite. With these tools, you're well armed. The combination produces a certificate authority and directory database configuration designed to scale to tens of thousands of users. Building a full system for creating, managing, securing and revoking digital certificates falls under the rubric of public-key infrastructure (PKI). The term "infrastructure" is chosen carefully because installing a PKI can be as difficult as any other part of your network infrastructure.

There I prepared for a long and sleepless night.
Seconds turned to minutes, then minutes into hours, as I laid on my back and listened to the storm; turning, thinking, listening, to the bursts of liquid shrapnel as it blasted against the tent.
Sometime before morning, my mind began to slip - drifting into a memory of another time and place - a memory of what now seemed some faraway life.
In that memory I saw a boy, his arm around a dog.
