If I read the draft correctly:

   "If a client wishes to connect to a server securely, it needs to check
   the identity of the server so that it can determine if the server is
   what it claims to be"

seems to be the salient statement about the problem to be solved.

Can you elaborate a bit? I'm only looking for a somewhat more extensive spec of 
your topic goal, rather than trying resolving it, here.

Tnx.
