I am not quite as interested in semantic accuracy as I am interested in the meaning of the advice itself. Accepting your definition of multi-tasking, I simply will reword my objection: Dont suggest mutli-tasking is some virtuous and amazing

What I find striking about this, and other parts of the article, is how they seem like they must be contradictory. He spent 19 hours of his day working? Thats exceptional. A feat I certainly couldnt achieve. But... he also spent an hour and

Interesting question: How many companies who use open offices style floorplans have executives who still have their own offices? Maybe this is just another permutation of the out of touch boss problem. Nothing makes it harder to understand

Yes, it is true that validation does add accountability and security. However, suggesting that DV certificates are less suitable than EV certificates for handling a certain kind of data is nothing more than misinformation. The cipher being

Not sure about revocation. Sponsorship is provided by multiple companies, including Mozilla. See https://letsencrypt.org/sponsors/ and https://letsencrypt.org/2015/04/09/isrg-lf-collabora

With many platforms you can also use a Multi-Domain certificate to use one Certificate with one IP. Let's Encrypt will support Multi-Domain certificates.

Validation has nothing to do with the security of the certificate. There is nothing preventing you from using a DV, OV, or EV certificate to transmit any type of data you want.

No. The Let's Encrypt root was recently created and will be submitted to root inclusion programs. It will probably be quite a while until its suitable to issue certs solely from the Let's Encrypt Root. For now, the certs are cross

This assumes "power users" want more engagement with their phone. If I want to do something complex, I'll do it on my laptop or desktop. My phone is always with me and I just want something straight forward for everyday life.

These points have been debunked dozens of times. SSL is EASILY affordable. Not only are there free options, but many sites provide widely-trusted certs for around $7/yr. There is little legitimacy behind the claims that the US has back

Do you know how to identify if a Root can issue SGC certs? I am seeing an OID (2.16.840.1.113730.4.1) in the EKU field for both End-Entity and Intermediate Certs from Thawte, but nothing on the Root. Was the ability to issue an SGC cert mor

You are right Yuhong. Symantec's "Pro" products used to advertise SGC, now they are using ECDSA instead.
173.
by vtlynch 11y ago
Symantec removed SGC from their products about 1-2 months ago. So you are right, these are outdated - but they are not relics. Symantec was peddling SGC pretty strongly before then, including "SGC" in the name of their products.

You are right, CertSimple is a competitor (reselling Digicert), but nothing in their blog post is wrong. They may be getting benefical advertising from this post, but they are doing so by providing a public service calling out the baseless

This is basically what existing corporate proxies (like FireEye) and AV software (like Avast!) already do.
