Even better: Rather than all the red-tape, you can just use an indicator between `$` and `$$$$$` to indicate how much the subject paid for the certificate. This is better because it establishes more than just two (five!) tiers of credibility. I briefly considered adding a sixth tier, but I think that would be distasteful.
- kbenson 6y agoThat is essentially what you used to be paying for with certs back in the day. You bought yourself a $500, $1000, or $1500 cert based on the level of liability insurance you needed if someone "broke the encryption". The extra money does help pay for extra betting by the issuing authority, theoretically. The thing is, just charging extra money would probably work for the most part, even if it isn't all that fair. Also, how do I set myself up as the authority you need to pay $$$$$ to for a certificate? That seems like a pretty sweet market to be in. ;)
