I don't see it. Are you saying the private key under CertA might be
protected differently than the same private key under CertB? What
prevents me (or an adversary who cracked my PIN) from using the "A"
version to include CertB?
I also don't see the authorization aspect at all. DSIG shouldn't be
used for anything other than content integrity, right?
