Hi Jane

I did not read/listen to any of that.

The entire code signing / ssl industry looks more and more like a
racket. It does explain the evolution of LE.

Maybe there will be a similar move for CS.

Human beings have this propensity to try and make things complicated and
obtuse - it is a Seinfeld moment - with males always trying to assign
the most important sounding titles to their job positions.

Thanks for the links - everything may change before June anyway. And
existing certificates may just stop working. None of this security
actually means anything. Developers who work in the field of encryption
will tell you so. Some of them have little games who can crack what
first. - over a pint or two. One of my mentors did this for fun at
weekly computer club meetings.

Anyways - till next time if it ever comes around.

Cheers
Andre
