This also doesn't mean that You really are Ramon Loureiro, since the
Certificate doesn't carry Your _Name_ indicating that Other People have
eyeballed You + Government Issued Documentation affirming that You
actually are who You say You are.  To accomplish this You will need to
accomplish several Face-to-Face meetings with other Thawte Assurers who
'vouch' [by granting points through Thawte] that they have confirmed
Your Identity.

I only know that I have an x.509 Key that may be used to Send an S/MIME
Encrypted to the Email Address on the Certificate. :(  Basically, I
still have to 'trust' You at face value.  All that is certain is that
Thawte has confirmed Somebody controls this particular email Address. :-\
