Most, if not all CAs, don't perform the practices your CA apparently does and which I view as a heightened risk. That's also the reason why this issue has come up with your requests at this time. Because of my involvement with the NSS team, I had the chance to read enough CPSs from a wide range of CAs in order to positively confirm that.
In that respect it's your CA which introduces an unfair balance in the commercial playing field. But should I encourage now to have all other CAs adopt your risky behavior? At various occasions you referred to your commercial obligations, but what about your other obligations to the industry and to the relying parties, Mozilla being one of them? Most, if not all other CAs present in NSS, are aware of their responsibilities and duties beyond the commercial aspect and your CA is in the very minority! Lets maintain an even and fair level in every respect, which would call out for your CA to adjust! -- Regards Signer: Eddy Nigg, StartCom Ltd. <http://www.startcom.org> Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Blog: Join the Revolution! <http://blog.startcom.org> Phone: +1.213.341.0390 _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
