For those of us mortals who flunked their Latin&Greek: autochthonous |ôˈtäkθənəs| adjective (of an inhabitant of a place) indigenous rather than descended from migrants or colonists. • Geology (of a deposit or formation) formed in its present position. Often contrasted with allochthonous . Main Entry: au·toch·tho·nous Pronunciation: o-'täk-th&-n&s Function: adjective 1 : INDIGENOUS, NATIVE <an autochthonous people> 2 : formed or originating in the place where found <autochthonous rock> <an autochthonous infection> - au·toch·tho·nous·ly adverb (not that this helps very much ;-) ) there is even an "autochthonous.org" (autochthonous.org - Getting back to where we're from!)

Proxy cert characteristics Autochthonous - typically generated on the spot, by the user or a delegated process
A fine word, but not applicable. When a user on host A delegates to B, which then authenticates to C, the proxy cert is created at A, stored at B and seen at C. The private key is autochthonous, but this is generally true of non-proxy private keys as well.
