At the moment, no, but CACert is working on it. Certificates issued by CACert are still more valuable than self-signed because the owner's identity has been verified and, if the user installs the CACert root once, they can all be checked against it.
- tptacek 17y agoWithout the root cert installed, they add zero additional security, because the browser can't verify them. They might as well be self-signed. CACert has been working on this for a long time, and the outlook does not seem positive. If they can't even get past Mozilla's audit requirements, how well do you think they'll fare with Microsoft?
- Sidnicious 17y agoI checked in with someone from CACert at 26C3. As far as he knows, the audit is moving forward and they expect to make it into both.
