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.

    I suspect that's the point -- if I want any "crappy" domain, I could just go buy one for dirt-cheap and pop up a hazardous website. On the other hand, if I want to be Trustable Inc. that offers "trustable" online services, and ".trust" domains have a reputation for being actually secure (unlike websites only secured with mere SSL certificates), then I'd surely want a .trust domain to attract customers. This seems like a viable way to make ".trust" domains of great utility -- and high price.
