So I suspected it (and there are others which follow our discussions too I guess), I can't argue with facts as you say. This makes it convenient for me to leave a message to Microsoft (Mr. Yiu, is it you?) :-D At least they still own me an apology...but congrats guys, you have effectively addressed a specific issue in detail now with your new policy.

Even so a competitor to Firefox, it's good for PKIs generally, which makes it good for our users as well. I don't see eye in eye with everything in that policy, it's much better no doubt. > I think it's good that Microsoft has published a more detailed policy; > this will make it easier for us to tighten up our own policy over time, > at least for those requirements that we share with Microsoft. > > To be fair, the process (of creating more detailed definitions) was started because of our own needs (of Mozilla) and I'd except that we'd implement them without connection to what MS and others do. This is what you have done in the past as well and in fact you were leading this approach of defining and publishing detailed CA policies for browser vendors. Also Opera published a real policy a few month ago (and got rid of their previous behavior, which must be welcomed too). In that respect I suggest we simply continue what you (we)'ve done anyway already ;-) -- Regards Signer: Eddy Nigg, StartCom Ltd. <http://www.startcom.org> Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Blog: Join the Revolution! <http://blog.startcom.org> Phone: +1.213.341.0390 _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
