Re: RSA vs. Versigin. How do I choose?

[Ido Rosen <ido () cs uchicago edu>]

If you're looking for a CA for secure online payment systems, you might
as well save some $$$ and go with GeoTrust or FreeSSL, both of which are
much cheaper than Verisign.  In reality, virtually no users actually
check WHICH CA the cert was signed by, and virtually all are satisfied
with 'seeing the lock' (or less, sometimes).  (I think Verisign's
pricing scheme is obscene for what "security" they [or pretty much any
CAs out there] offer.)
