[Jsdsi-users] Re: Question about Delegation in JSDSI

That sounds about right, though Alice might furthermore restrict the
authorization she passes to Carol, i.e., she might make the tag
weaker.  The, if you use JSDSI's certificate path algorithms, it will
find a path from Bob to Carol with the appropriate authorization
level.
