A user Alice can doubly encrypt a message using another user's (Bob) public key and his (Bob's) identity.. This means that the user (Bob) cannot decrypt it without a currently valid certificate and also that the certificate authority cannot decrypt the message as they don't have the user's private key (i.e., there is no implicit escrow as with ID-based cryptography, as the double encryption ...
