However, the document under discussion appears to offer X.509 as the only method for securing communication with RS mailboxes,
If this is the case then I strongly suggest to amend the wording!
the alternative is continue as today, where this communication is going unsigned and in the clear in both directions.
Not really, the Reg.Serv Dept. obviously applies PGP signatures to outgoing mail by default (see below). And I really appreciate that!!
