<p class="MsoNormal">Clearly most users are not allowed to post to the CA/Browser Forum public list, so we may have to infer from data. I just looked at the certificates for each of the Alexa top 10,000 domains (found by trying to make a connection to
<a href="http://www.%3cdomain">www.<domain</a>> or just the bare domain). Some did not support HTTPS and some used private certs. Of those using public certs, 56.3% used certs that were valid for 13 months or less. 6.7% used ones valid for 14 or 15 months,
18.3% used certs valid for 16-27 months, and only 18.7% used certs valid 28-39 months.<o:p></o:p></p>
