Back to the meeting's agenda


Propositions by Aleš

① Certificate download page

I looked at the CAcert roots page. It may be quite confusing.

Certificate

Title (existing)

Link for download

Main root

Class 1 PKI key

Root Certificate (xxx Format)

Class 3 Root

Class 3 PKI key

Intermediate Certificate (xxx Format)

My proposal is, to keep the terminology consistent in titles:

Certificate

Title (NEW)

Link for download

Main root

Class 1 Main X.509 Root Certificate with CAcert public PKI root key

Root Certificate (xxx Format)

Class 3 Root

Class 3 Intermediate X.509 Root Certificate with CAcert public PKI intermediate key

Intermediate Certificate (xxx Format)

(link texts can remain)


② CAcert main website

For the CAcert main website: here may be a brief text with some links to basic Wiki articles, as:

where user may find the very essential information. This short text with links should be permanent.


③ Strengthen the assurance

The property does exist, which AFAIK has solely CAcert, and this is assurance. I believe the assurance is the best method how to make certificates really trustworthy.

Why not put a notice about the assurance system right on the CAcert homepage? With a link to some suitable Wiki article, for example:
