Email certificates



I'm  currently going through the process of purchasing email 
certificates for a few of my domains, and I'm a bit concerned that the 
vendor I'm currently using is not doing much to validate the information 
I'm supplying. They seem to be relying solely on documents I have 
supplied to them, which I could easily have forged. There is no sign 
that they've verified them independently. (They did use D&B to validate 
information for a certificate in a business name, but that just proves 
that the address I supplied on my application form matches the real 
address of the business.)

If you've gone through this process, were you satisfied with the level 
of checks performed by the vendor, and if so, who did you use?
