CA remains an off-line entity. mRSA certificates, along with
private half-keys are distributed to
the user and SEM-s in an off-line manner. This follows the common
certificate issuance and distribution paradigm. In fact,
in our implementation (Section 5) there is no need for the
CA and the SEM to ever communicate directly.
