Restricting which CAs can issue certs for which hostnames

2011-08-31 Thread Boris Zbarsky
I was looking at our CA root list, and a lot of them seem like "specialist" CAs that would only issue certs for a limited range of hostnames. Could we formalize this, and have CAs indicate any such restrictions as part of their application, then enforce it on our end? That would limit the exte

NSS tag update plans?

Is there any public info on what the plans are on updating the trunk NSS tag to pull in the codesize improvements made recently? Or has it already happened? Once it happens, I'd like to look at the remaining codesize issues, if any, so it would be nice if this code ended up on trunk for wider t
