+0.7 September 12th, 2006 PKYP services support
+
+Marking the release of http://pkyp.org a new no nonsense Public Key directory, this allows you register your public keys and certificates on a public server. If you have web applications with certificates or public keys you can point your users at http://pkyp.org/{key.digest} for more info about a certificate.
+
+Register a public key or certificate at PKYP with the new method register_with_pkyp like this:
+
+ signer=EzCrypto::Signer.generate
+ signer.verifier.register_with_pkyp
+
+If you have the public key or certificate digest you can fetch the full public key or certificate like this:
+
+ verifier=EzCrypto::Verifier.from_pkyp "e93e18114cbefaaa89fda908b09df63d3662879a"
+ verifier.verify sig, request_text
+
+This allows a simpler way of transfering certificates. The idea of including certificates with every request is not really necessary in an online world. For example you could pass the digest in a HTTP header for a REST web services request.

0.6.2 August 15th, 2006 Trust something release
Now comes complete with a fairly trusted list of root certs as extracted from Apple's keystore. With the addition of CACerts and GoDaddy SSL Certs (Buy from http://widecert.net). If you feel any important ones are missing let me know.
You can create a trust store from this with TrustStore.default_trusted. Note many of these CA's are useless and you shouldn't really trust them, but this makes it easy to emulate the browsers support.
