let the RIRs spend a few of the bucks they have getting their certs signed by a well-trusted root CA.
Is there such a thing? I can't think of a "well-known" root CA I'd trust farther than I could throw it. (It's not entirely clear to me what these would be used for. What I've seen leads me to think this is for some SSLified Web horror, in which case the obvious answer is surely to just tell your client software to trust that root cert only for connections to the relevant RIR's pages, preferably with active _dis_trust for other connections.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse@rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
