I think your second sentence is part of the problem, really. The SSL cert vendors (Verisign, et. al.) spend a lot of advertising resources telling people to "look for the padlock" and "get a certificate to secure your site", etc., etc. But server authentication and secure transport is only part of the problem. And even within the problem domain of SSL, the CAs don't do squat to verify identify before handing out certs. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
