If I put my wildcard for *.cia.gov on some box from cheapbackyardhosting.kp and it gets stolen, this is bad. If I put just a certificate for internaltest.cia.gov there, that's less bad. | |

| Sep 12, 2013 at 16:45 | comment | added | Terrel Shumway | I just learned that CAs cannot issue wildcard certs with EV. If you want the green bar for one domain, but don't care on the rest, that might be a valid use case. startssl.com/?app=25#87 | |
