Sure, ev certs might not be all that great, but I do find Troys long-running crusade against them weird. I mean, it feels pretty disproportionate, like does anyone care that some corpos end up paying few hundred bucks extra for their certs or whatever? Isn't there almost endless amount of more important issues in the security landscape?

- SAI_Peregrinus 5y agoIt's fraudulent activity (false advertising) by some of those very agencies who are trusted to authenticate certificates! CAs selling EV certs is fine. CAs advertising EV certs as providing a meaningful benefit to customers is NOT fine, it's an abuse of their trusted position.
