# Hi Peggy,
#
# A digital certificate can either be provided
# by a person's employer (if the employer hosts
# their own Certificate Authority) or they can
# purchase a digital certificate from a company
# that sells personal certificates.
#
# I did a quick search for "digital certificate
# provider" and got hits on VeriSign, GlobalSign,
# and Thawte. VeriSign is probably the most well-
# known digital certificate provider.
#
# I worked at a CA solution provider for a couple
# of years and still have a bunch of documentation
# on public key infrastructure and digital certs.
# You're welcome to contact me offline if you
# have more specific questions.
#
# Cheers,
#
# Rowena

# # Dear Techwr-l Members:
# #
# # I checked the archives, but didn't come up with anything.
# # May have used the
# # wrong search criteria. Can anyone point me to a Web site -
# # perhaps more
# # than one - that provides some sort of list of Certificate Authority
# # Services? A Google search of Certificate Authority Services
# # resulted in
# # thousands of hits - a little hard to wade through to find
# # what I need.
# # Identified only one site (by Netscape) that contained a list
# # and it only
# # listed 5 or 6 CA Service companies.
# #
# # For what it's worth, I need this information for a manual for
# # a new product
# # that requires the customer to purchase and install an X.509
# Version 3
# # Digital Certificate. They can use any CA Service Company
# # they choose, but I
# # would like to tell there where/how to look for one. Appreciate any
# # suggestions.
# #
# # Thanks,
# #
# # Peggy Lee
