- This paper is significant because it describes the culmination of over 5 years of research with University Paul Sabatier, France, investigating why X.509 PKI infrastructures do not operate as originally conceived. We concluded that the original 3-cornered trust model was inappropriate for the global Internet, with its country-based legal systems. This has resulted in a new conceptual component, the Trust Broker, being added to the model, which was then published in the X.509 standard (https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.509-201910-I).
