That would be a really far-sighted campaign, but yes, it's a point. However, what I meant is that the blog entry ignores the fact that as long as there is a weakest link in the root store, protection of your domain certification is exactly as strong as that weakest link. Sure, you can go to VeriSign to get a certificate, but it won't help you if DigiNotar is hacked afterwards and certificates for your domain issued. I am no good at predicting customer behaviour, but why should customers opt for the more expensive solution then? Ralph -- Dipl.-Inform.
