Free Certificate Authority Unveiled by Aussies

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the good-things-from-down-under dept.

SonOfGates writes "Well, the Aussies have invaded Boston but at least they're not throwing tea into the harbor. AU-based nonprofit CAcert Inc has spent the last few days at USENIX '04 registering new users by the truckload. They bill themselves as a 'Community-Based CA.' Could this be the begining of a true 'open' certificate authority? See the O'Reilly story and press release."

  2. Aussies in Boston...Hmmm by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I hope the Boston Police don't treat the Aussie's in the same manner that the Aussie police treated those US college kids a few weeks ago.

    But then again the Boston police are busy picketing...Oops not picketing, informational picketing. Yeah thats the ticket...Hah get it, it's joke son...get it ticket.

    Sorry, the only real Joke in Boston is John Kerry, Oops I am wrong about that we also have "Big Ted K".

    Massachusetts is in a sad state, and just think if you vote for Kerry, the whole country could be this way. Corrupt and controlled by labor unions.

    Can you say "Higher Taxes"...cmon repeat after me....

    We're talking about a country that banned swords. It's what America would be without the bill of rights, I think. Well, except the whole crocodile thing. Maybe the problem is that they have to spend money putting up crocodile warning signs on like every single body of water, and don't have any left to spend on, for example, education.
