  273. The challenge string permits a primitive form of proof of possession
  274. of private key. By checking the \s-1SPKAC\s0 signature and a random challenge
  275. string some guarantee is given that the user knows the private key
  276. corresponding to the public key being certified. This is important in
  277. some applications. Without this it is possible for a previous \s-1SPKAC\s0
