NOTICE: Thawte is discontinuing the Web Of Trust effective November 16, 2009
Well - it has been a good run and a long time in Internet years - but Thawte/Verisign is discontinuing the Web Of Trust and Free Email certification program effective November 16, 2009. In their words...
Over the past several years, security compliance requirements have become more restrictive, while the technology infrastructure necessary to meet these requirements has expanded greatly. Despite our strong desire to continue providing the Thawte Personal E-mail Certificate and Web of Trust services, the ever-expanding standards and technology requirements will outpace our ability to maintain these services at the high level of quality we require. As a result, Thawte Personal E-Mail Certificates and the Web of Trust will be discontinued on November 16, 2009 and will no longer be available after that date. ... more info...
I have enjoyed acting as a Thawte WOT Notary over the years and will miss the WOT. But life goes on. If you still need personal id certificates, you can get them (for a fee) from Thawte/Verisign.
