This business of being a CA with your public key embedded in the common browsers is an interesting little racket :) > I have used Thawte, but they are a part of Verisign now. Thawte is the discount arm of VeriSign. At the time that VS bought Thawte, VS had 60% of the cert market, Thawte had 30%, and a hundred others shared the scrap.
