Basically it is possible to automate OV using D&B APIs (because most CAs use that for validation). I've also not found any guideline requiring OV to be manual or require human interaction (though I could be wrong of course). Is that intentional and indeed the fact? I think it should be discussed if that is secure enough for hopefully obvious reasons.<div id="message"></div><br id="br3"><div id="signature"></div><div id="content"></div></div><br></body></html>
