The USPTO. An example of how NOT to do PKI...

I have started the process of getting secure access to my patent portfolio on the US patents web site... what a glorious pain in the rear this is...

1. Get an ID number (by mail with apdf form to fill out)
2. Get a notorized application for a PKI certificate... more mail and pain
3. Use two seperate passwords emailed or physicallly mailed to obtain the initial PKI certificate authentication...

All this, when I can fill out one form and have a password mailed to me by most banks to do wire transfers of over 100k per transaction! What a nightmare...
