This is an update on the InCommon Certificate Service.
A revised FAQ for the InCommon certificate service has been posted on the InCommon website.
Major changes include:
- the agreement with Comodo has been signed
- a revised fee schedule substantially reduces pricing for university systems joining as a single entity
- not-for-profit regional networking organizations may participate
- a restriction on the use of non-EV certs for servers/services used for financial and monetary purposes has been removed.
You'll find the new FAQ, including the fee schedule, at www.incommon.org/cert
The production date is still expected to be sometime late this summer. The service will start with SSL certs, then - after community working group input - will phase in code signing and then personal certs.
