I don't interpret it that way. The certificates are the equivalent of secure mailers from one person to another, with the post office vouching for the address from which the message has come. The IDX stuff can go further, and allow the postman to vouch for the person who sent it.

However, IDX doesn't play the role of postman in this system, or mail securer. That remains with the VRSNs of the world. Having Novell involved with IDX means that if the routing of messages is controlled by a Novell system, then the mailman's biometrics, if any, have to using IDX and not a competitor.

As far as SET is concerned, I think they are direct competitors to VRSN and ENTU, and failing. If you notice the PR you quote, they are proposing a smart card personal verifier.
