Does anyone have the URL for how Netsape and/or MSIE validate or
test then accept a CA for inclusion in their web browsers?
I tried a lot of combinations on some search engines and hit a blank
I am thinking about trying the phone and calling Redmond Washington and
California to ask, but expect that will be difficult and at least an hour
or more on the phone as well.
I saw some emails on the list that mentioned that maybe the
CA would pay a big fee and then have to pass an evaluation.
I know that the RSA patent is expiring sept21 in the US and
I expect that a lot more CA's will pop up like the www.equifax.com
With OpenSSL and some scripts like at www.openca.org and
then proving your company is reputable and then somehow paying
or begging the web browsers to include them as a CA then a lot of CAs
could be popping up by the end of the year. Why not some of us?
FYI, on the website for equifax:
