extended validation certificates

Extended validation certificates are not the cure for all problems.
The Register reports an XSS attack to Paypal.

I think that more than EV certs the identity metasystem needs affordable certificates for all.

My cert is $17.99 a year.
My domain name is $34.99 a year.
My web hosting is $119.50 a year.

It's not the price, it's the complexity.

The first hurdle is the price, the second the complexity. <wishful thinking mode>Each domain should come with a SSL certificate for the domain included and configured for your webserver</wishful thinking mode>
