Is there much deployment of S/MIME in the corporate world? Identity generation is much easier in GPG in my experience.
We have a national PKI for doctors that could have been, but isn't, used for S/MIME. Missed opportunity.
- stephenr 9y agoIn some ways it's easier for corporate, as the ca's have more incentive to make it useable. I asked a ca about s/mime pricing - on its own they have a 50x3yr minimum purchase. They offered to waive the minimums if I combined with a regular server cert purchase.
- firebird84 9y agoA while back you could get a globally trusted free cert from Comodo. I'm not certain they're still doing it but you could see if the free route will work. (The keying material is generated inside the browser and never leaves your machine)
- stephenr 9y agoYou still can but they're a bit of a pain to use, and honestly anything that's not Comodo would be nice. After their shitbird response to LetsEncrypt, I'd rather pay someone else than use their "free" option.

- DonHopkins 9y agoWow, I missed that story the first time around. Just catching up on the details. That Comodo CEO Melih Abdulhayoğlu is such a dishonest, incompetent buffoon! I had no idea how terrible a company Comodo is, but now I do thanks to the CEO's own words and actions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7Wl2FW2TcA&feature=youtu.be&t=5m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7Wl2FW2TcA&feature=youtu.be...
