EV would be at best Class 3, Class 4 would be extensive background checks, not just providing ID documents and this potentially would have some weight as it could provide a history on a person but *ONLY* if they have been caught and prosecuted, but would give more scope then ID documents do. By background checks I'm leaning more toward criminal then civial credit checks, credit checks don't prove much in this respect as even honest people can have bad credit through mis-management etc, and learn from it next time, criminal checks that show a history of fraud and deception on the other hand is a different matter. Although this would really be no deterrent either, as people that have been bankrupt in the past simply hide behind a family member that does have good credit etc, until any statutes of limitations kick in... -- Best regards, Duane http://www.cacert.org - Free Security Certificates http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom http://e164.org - Because e164.arpa is a tax on VoIP "In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip." _______________________________________________ dev-security mailing list dev-security@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security
