EV certs seem to have basically the same verification policies that CAs had for ordinary certificates back in the early 2000s (i.e., really not that much at all), so I am intrigued as to what the DV has to offer except "it's basically self-signed but with extra steps and the rest of the world will trust it". > If someone is between a service and LE There is always someone there: my ISP, my government that monitors my ISP, the LE's ISP, and the US government that monitors the LE's ISP.
