I sincerely doubt the numbers presented in this so-called "survey". How did they get to a number of only 91,136 secure servers "across all domains"? There are a huge number of CAs, many of which offer certificates to the public (see http://www.pki-page.info/#CA). Even if most CAs will not have a significant market share those numbers would be different. Cheers, Stefan. ------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Inform.
