AnonTechie writes with an article from El Reg:

NCC Group has published a set of security standards that you'll have to follow if you want to operate a .trust website.

The company owns the rights to sell dot-trusts, and uploaded the 124-page policy document [PDF] earlier this month. It provides a technical rundown covering network security to secure DNS settings, and NCC Group says the rules will be used as a configuration standard for all new dot-trust websites.

  Was going to download the pdf, but cancelled.

  It violates my policy of not running javascript for obvious trust reasons.

  And why should I embark in a potentially risky pdf parsing operation, when such guidelines could have been delivered in plain ascii?

  The PDF does not use Javascript.
  And that is largely under your control anyway. Stop using Adobe products.
