An easy fix ignored

Which points out the other obvious flaw...: Who identified these CA's as being trustworthy in the first place? No one. They are self-appointed holders of our trust.

This was the major criticism of the certificate process in the first place, and the fact that they continue to use a weak encryption method is confirmation that the criticism has merit.

We must be watchful of the CA's, and pressure them to not only "appear" trustworthy, but to actually "be" trustworthy. In the long run, being trustworthy is probably cheaper for the CA's anyways.; Posted by: Feldon Posted on: 12/30/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
