PS: IMO the PKI market has been grossly exaggerated. There are only
30,000 servers worldwide that can do SSL -- which limits PKI server certs
to that number worldwide, with a factor for virtual server usage.
These numbers sound quite low. Netcraft's 2001 SSL survey reported
500,000 SSL sites with 121,000 of those having valid third
party certificates.
Heck, Netcraft's April survey shows 41,000 installations of Stronghold
alone, all of which can do SSL.
