Suppose I am a CA. I am worried that by issuing a certificate with a lifespan of more than 2 milliseconds I am opening myself up to unlimited liability if for some reason, despite my best efforts, I issue an erroneous certificate.
How do notaries public get around this liability problem? It seems to me that the checking done for a certificate might be similar to the checking done by a notary - a glance at a driver's license, say. Are they subject to liability if they are fooled by fake ID? Hal
