Good question since WOT [1] and these newer Key oriented ontologies 
aren't aligned. In addition, WOT is conflating public key and x.509 
certificate. The fingerprint I am talking about is a hash (md4, md5, 
sha, sha256, sha512) of the entire x.509 Cert.

If you put a Certificate's fingerprint in a data space (this could be a 
tweet even) you can still perform a match with the X.509 cert from a 
successful SSL/TLS handshake.

Since we are preoccupied with this feature, we'll take on the task of 
making a tweak to existing ontologies (if possible). Then we'll just 
share what we have and leave it up to everyone else to decide what they 
do with it :)
