Unless we're missing something very badly (always
a possibility), Verisign is still the key player in
the server side certificate market, with Thawte
next up. There are a number of smaller up and
coming CAs out there as well - we've been publishing
stats on the pentration of CAs, and SSL as a whole
in our on-line secure web survey located
at http://www.e-softinc.com.
Also, we have all the root certs we use for
validating sites as part of our survey on-line
as well at http://www.e-softinc.com/cacerts.txt
Cheers, Thomas
