I secure all my services that I provide to my family via Let's Encrypt and Certbot. I remember the days of paying $200+/year to Thawte and... well... LetsEncrypt is amazing by comparison. EFF is the best and I am proud to contribute and be a member.

Regarding account verification, there used to be this method for verifying email certificates using "notaries" to verify people's identities. I don't know if Blue Sky will hire people to "issue checkmarks," but if not something like that might work.

And, I don't know if you were around for the Thawte email cert web of trust thing, but it's a precedent for decentralized identity verification, including (if I recall correctly) invalidation in the event of corruption.

Whenever my certificates are up for renewal, I think “why don’t I just let them expire?” - it’s an intrusive Thawte.

There was something in the early 2000’s associated with Thawte that involved what were effectively notaries. It was decentralized identity verification kind of similar to digital certs. That is, if a notary hierarchy was compromised, all the identities it certified were invalid.

Hace 15 (2011) es cuando se acabó lo de quemar billetes a lo loco.

Canonical había estado operando a perdidas para crecer a toda costa, yo creo que con el objetivo de vender como hizo con Thawte.

Pero se había convertido en un hijo tonto, asi que fuera "human beings" y se enfocaron en empresas.

Well, diese Systeme funktionieren physikalisch ….
Crack am Thawte Gletscher, das muss ein Sound gewesen sein.
Es wird kommen, wir wissen nur nicht in welcher Reihenfolge und wann genau. Daten aus der Erdgeschichte legen aber nahe, das könnte sehr schnell fast abrupt gehen.

I bought my first cert from Thawte in 2002. They were expensive and the process was long and laborious, for sure. But, they did require documentation proving you were who you said you were in relation to site ownership. There is something to be said for that.....

Yep, that makes sense. You might already be aware of the old Thawte model for validating email certificates from the late 90's/early 2000's:

Yes to all of that. I think what will probably win is some kind of web of trust like with the old Thawte volunteer notaries who authenticated people for email certificates.

Yes! I was looking at the old Thawte stuff the other day.

Just got an email, Thawte is shutting down their Web of Trust Personal Email Certificate program - Typical Verisign... http://bit.ly/vAXkU

Huh, triple posting to triple the engagement? Or is it bluesky acting up? Btw, there used to be public-trust thing ran by Thawte. "Web of trust".
July 12, 2024 at 3:45 PM
The way we fix this is we would have a little potato on the web page, and just like back in the day you'd click on the SECURED BY THAWTE button to see that yes, they're encrypting your data en route, you'll go to a page that shows the audit trail for verifying the website.
