If you ask security researchers, it has been proven that CA's sacrificed security for profitability. The CA model has failed to work. 2 second validation based on email, md5 based * root certificates signed, etc etc. The last two years saw a significant amount of attacks against CA's, and CA's have seen their profit margin fall to near zero, so even if they wanted to, they cannot increase security (you ask me a confirmation for my cert, I'll go to this other ssl provider that doesn't). CERT's in DNS(SEC) put the responsibility of the cert within the domain of the customer. If they care, they can do their security. The time of outsourcing security to CA's is over. Paul
