Re: Discontinuance of Thawte personal email certificates and Web of Trust

[jeff murphy <jcmurphy () BUFFALO EDU>]

Ignoring personal accounts, it would be interesting to see EDUCAUSE
(identity & access mgmt) investigate whether this can be provided to
EDUs. Similar to the way .edu is managed by EDUCAUSE, perhaps it's
possible to obtain an EDUCAUSE chained root cert by one of the
existing roots (IPS?) and then allow EDUs to issue email/TLS certs for
themselves using an EDUCAUSE hosted interface. The ability to do this
for TLS (SSL) certs alone would be a significant win, from a financial
and security perspective, for the EDU community.
