Yes, There Is a Free ID

A few months ago, in a story called "Ready to Get Serious About E-Mail Privacy?" (January Internet Tips ), I reported that you have to purchase a Digital ID certificate if you want to possess one that doesn't expire after a brief demo period. But reader Lanny Marcus of Cali, Colombia, points out an alternative: Thawte Consulting offers unlimited free certificates to online visitors. To sign up for a personal certificate, visit Thawte's Web site. Competing certificate authority VeriSign, which does not offer free certificates, recently bought Thawte, but Thawte will continue to offer its personal certificates for free.
