and Microsoft uses some "web-of-trust" principle between various CAs. It only enters a CA into IE who is in that "web-of-trust" .. anyone can be a CA though, and if you have some American connection, Mozilla, IE and Opera might add you. (all these browsers are coded in the US to the best of my knowledge). eb _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
