Thawte: “Over the past several years, security compliance requirements have become more restrictive, while the technology infrastructure necessary to meet these requirements has expanded greatly. Despite our strong desire to continue providing the Thawte Personal E-mail Certificate and Web of Trust services, the ever-expanding standards and technology requirements will outpace our ability to maintain these services at the high level of quality we require. As a result, Thawte Personal E-Mail Certificates and the Web of Trust will be discontinued on November 16, 2009 and will no longer be available after that date. … Customers with active Thawte Personal Email Certificates will be given the option to enroll for a free one year VeriSign Email Certificate. … After 16 November 2009, the system that supports Thawte Personal Email Certificates will shut down and as a result, active email Certificates and enrollments of email Certificates will no longer be available. … Your Thawte Personal Email Certificate will be revoked on 16 November 2009 on the same date that we stop offering Thawte Personal Email Certificates.“
