By checking the SPKAC signature and a random challenge +string some guarantee is given that the user knows the private key +corresponding to the public key being certified. This is important in +some applications. Without this it is possible for a previous SPKAC +to be used in a "replay attack". + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<ca(1)|ca(1)> + +=cut |
