[SSL Observatory] offtopic: sites with client certificate authentication

Hi!
When it comes to secure logins, client certificate authentication is a
nice feature of SSL/TLS to get rid of usernames and passwords. For
instance certifi.ca is an useful OpenID provider allowing such login. It
can be used in conjunction with the USB Crypto Stick [1] (or other smart
cards) allowing secure login from any computer.

I'm looking for other public websites which offer client certificate
authentication but couldn't find many. Do you know any such websites,
lists of such websites, or does even the data gathered by SSL
Observatory contain these information? In the later case, is the data
available and how to use it?

Thanks and regards
Jan
