CRLs Matter When Certs Matter

Mozilla does CRL right. Last night, as an experiment, I revoked one of my Thawte Freemail certificates. Today I sent myself a message signed with that now-bogus cert. Few people have ever used an S/MIME cert. Still fewer, I am sure, have explored how email software deals with a CRL (certificate revocation list). ... [Jon's Radio]
CRLs are something I didn't pay much attention to until we started using digital certificates for things that really mattered (like law enforcement). This is interesting information and its not surprising, I guess that Mozilla does it right.

Fall COMDEX
I've been asked to speak on a panel at COMDEX in the fall. The topic will be "Evaluating New Tools: How to Tell Which Hot, Breakthrough Products Will Stick" and it will be on Monday November 11th from 2:30-3:45. I think the short answer is "throw them at the wall."
Surprisingly, even though I live close to Las Vegas and fly my own plane (so its only a few hours away), I've never made it to COMDEX. This will give me the excuse I've been looking for.
