I suspect Vint remembers that - and has the scars to prove it!

I vaguely but distinctly recall attending an IAB? meeting in New
Hampshire? at
which there was a lot of discussion of PEM - I remember Steve Kent being
there, and suspect Vint was too.

This was years before PGP (which of course appeared in part as a
counterpoint
to PEM, since the top-down authentication model of PEM didn't sit well
with
everyone).
