That is a difficult read by the way, even for me. But it's probably  
good for my brain.
It is easiest to read something like that by playing with it. To do  
that it is best to download the whole CVS repository of CWM see

    http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/doc/cwm

Then you need to install the crypto python extension. I did that like  
this on OSX

$ easy_install-2.5 pycrypto

once that done you can run all the examples in the Trust document, but  
you need to add the --crypto flag .

I think we should try to see what this brings that foaf+ssl does not,  
and how one could perhaps make it simpler.
