Re: SSL Certificate Comparisons

[Jeff Giacobbe <giacobbej () MAIL MONTCLAIR EDU>]

All-

Someone on the EDUCAUSE CIO list passed along this little gem of info on
a company called ipsCA.

http://certs.ipsca.com/


Apparently educational institutions can get a FREE 2-year "wildcard" SSL
cert that can be applied to any number of servers in their .edu domain.
And ipsCA claims that their root CA is already in the latest versions of
IE, Mozilla, and Firefox.  It seems too good to be true, but we're going
to be checking into it anyway...
