Here is a nice article on setting up an htaccess based client ssl certificate system. client ssl certs Now I have something to play with this afternoon. :-)

It appears to be in line with your desire for different keys for each site, and is generated by the site and the access key is given to the client. I guess the weakness here is how you get the key to the client? It would have to be delivered personally to them, but in an office setting that would be easy.

My envisioned model is slightly different, with a common public key that you use for all sites, that the server admin would retreive from a public server.

Anyways, this look cool, I hope I can get it working.
