The problem is that when there is NO security verification
then even the educated and cautious will be duped. The new proposals and published information about them when they become effective will allow those who will learn with the information necessary.

Just from this forum I have learned that all certificates are not the same. I will not trust certificates issued by Thawte or GeoTrust for more than light security from this date forward. Until this article, I had not known that there was a difference.
