    ----
Hey all,

I am doing my thesis on PKI over MANET.

I have few questions before I can proceed further. These questions might look rudimentary but I framed them such a way that I get answers to minute details.

Suppose I am a new person/node and I would like to request for a certificate from a CA (say VeriSign). My questions are:

- How do I authenticate myself to the CA (node authentication)?
- How do I believe that the digital certificate I obtain from CA is not tampered (say Man In the Middle Attack)?
- How does the CA reliably distribute their public key?

Thanks,
