Things went interesting, the webpage is about the 19 honored internet security researcher by China government, some of them are professors of university, like Professor Xiaoyun Wang who contributed a lot on cryptology(MD5 &SHA-1), Min Yang, Haixin Duan, Jianwei Liu, Xingshu Chen……, and the fellow of China Academy of Engineering, Mr.Changxiang Shen, there is also officers of the Administration of public security, are they treated as “Bad Guys” in this community?
Mr.Wenbin Zheng, the GM of Core Security BU of Qihoo 360, is one of the 19 honored peoples there, he is the top experienced engineer on Microsoft Windows Driver development, focus on DEFENDING the virus/Trojan attack for Microsoft Windows, the XP Shield made by his team provide additional protect to XP users, effectively. Maybe we should consider technology, product/service and politics separately, somebody may not be funs of some government, but if we mixed the technology, product/service and politics together, it might make the world even worse.

However, there hasn't been a similar investigation into the trustworthiness of StartCom as an independent entity or as an entity operated by Qihoo. It would seem that germane to the discussion is how trustworthy the claims are - from either StartCom or Qihoo - and how that affects trust. > > > > Incidents with StartCom: > > A) Duplicate Serials. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1029884 > > We know that StartCom had issues issuing duplicate serials, in violation of RFC 5280.

Presumably, this is a CDN distribution delay, but we can't be sure, especially considering Incident A was with the underlying systems. As a consequence of this, users with StartCom certificates are disproportionately disadvantaged from enabling OCSP stapling, which many browser programs support (and is perhaps the only viable path towards a complete revocation solution). > > > > E) Heartbleed. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=994033 / https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=994478 > > We know StartCom had a notoriously poor response to HeartBleed. Eddy first dismissed the significance, and then when proven wrong, still continued to charge $25 USD for revocation. Ostensibly, this is a violation of the Baseline Requirements, in that CAs are required to revoke certificates suspected of Key Compromise. However, despite the BRs effective date of 2012, Mozilla was not aggressively imposing compliance then (... or now, to be fair). > > > > G) StartCom BR violations - IV https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1266942 > > StartCom was materially violating its CP/CPS and the Baseline Requirements with respect to certain types of validation.

Similarly, if we were to accept trust in Qihoo, then we would be ignoring the precedent Qihoo has set of choosing insecure and anti-user behaviours masked as "security". > > As a Chinese Internet user, I would say that Qihoo has a very negative reputation on China online community for its precedent's malware(maybe not accurate) and some awful actions such as "3Q Battle", installing software sliently, misleading ads, suspiciously collecting data which is believed helping govnerment monitoring citizens and so on. But on the other hand, their product, "360安全卫士" (360 Total Security)(two names are not the same version but I can't find another english name),as I thought, has improved the total security level of China Internet. And it has changed the ecosystem of Chinese anti-malware software,which I don't know it is good or bad.
