Nobody is going to stop one trusting of the huge CAs like DigiCert or Verisign over something like that. It'd be like deciding you're not going to use Windows because there is a bug in it - you're too dependent on it to give it up and the alternatives are just as bad.
- thinkmassive 11y agoWho is too dependent on Windows and has no superior alternatives? This is a laughably weak argument that's getting weaker every day. It sounds like a personal problem.
- LLWM 11y agoMost normal users.

- task_queue 11y agoI've continued to inflict Linux upon myself as my main (laptop!) OS for 12 years now, but you're deluded if you think it has any place on normal human being's computer. Windows works and is expected. Expecting the user to spend hours/days learning a new system for reasons that aren't their own is bad assumption to make.
- mike_hearn 11y agoIf Verisign was discovered to be routinely minting fake certs for the US Govt then they would be revoked. It would probably take over a year and involve huge amounts of pain but yes, it could be done. CAs sell a commodity product and are entirely replaceable.
