[TriLUG] CAcert meeting -- how to prepare

[Alan Porter]

So far, my impressions (in increasing order of suckiness):

 - CAcert certs suck because they require a 1-time manual action
 - self-signed certificates suck because they are insecure *
 - big-name certs suck because they cost big money
 - not using a cert sucks because that's REALLY insecure

Choose the level of suckiness you can tolerate.

CAcert clearly sucks the least!

* Actually, up until FF3, these were the suckiest of them all,
because the lock icon made you THINK they were secure, when
really they weren't.
