That gets even more frightening when you look at the background of
Verisign's
management team. I'm not usually one to buy into conspiracy theorys, and,
I'm not suggesting any evidence supports one here. However, these guys are
from the government, and, it's obvious they're not here to help.
If you look at the Verisign/NetSol management team, you'll see that it has
a large contingent of ex-CIA/NSA/etc. I don't know this is bad, but, I know
it can't be good. (Think Carnivore)
