Can someone point me in the direction of who I need to talk to in order to get security certificates for a Web server I'm setting up? I sent email to MS and Netscape, and neither has deigned to respond in 4 days....
Thanks
Dave Merriman

GTE has announced, `Cybertrust` but I don't know if its operational or
not. MCI Mall and AT&T also offer certificates.
The unfortunate fact is that at the moment, getting a certificate from
someone Netscape has decided to trust makes your customers life much
easier, because they never have to decide to trust your key. Thus,
Verisign, MCI mall and AT&T have a large commercial advantage waiting
for Netscape to tell the world what criteria they use for selecting
KCA to trust.
