One way to offer some improvements might be to be persuade one of the Root CAs to let you manage multiple flavored "certifications" server-side and provide access by API, browser plugin and web-site to a transparent public database of the all issued certificates - so you can see the "pedigree" of t

Late to the party with this, it got bounced yesterday. SSL certs can be obtained for free from http://cert.startcom.org/ and they work without warning in most browsers: https://forum.startcom.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1802 If you want one that's guaranteed to work in even really old browsers witho

The opportunity here for multiple types of certification is immense. We also desperately need a way to allow multiple authorities to sign one domain. At present there are hundreds, if not thousands of root authorities registered in the browser. If any one of them were compromised SSL would be prone

You can get a cert for as little as $9.95 which will be just as good as the $400 one.Check the feature comparison as the higher priced ones simply have higher levels of insurance, business identity checks (of you) and logos and other fluffy stuff. If your transactions size and levels are low then y

Dave: we're using Comodo - they're selling EV (Extended validation) certificates for US$ 359, which is somewhat lower than $400. A cheaper SSL cert (that still does its core job) will set you back just under $200. http://www.comodo.com/e-commerce/ssl-certificates/secure-server.php On Tue, Nov 3
