Certificate Authorities is regularly making exceptions when they realize the Certificate to the customers or any other companies. To identify those exceptions, there is one software introduced by ZLINT; The certificated linter has codified the few policies to set by Browser/CA forums. It will be the baseline of the requirements and RFC5880 that can be tested in an isolated way. We can run ZLint on the browser-trusted certificates. There are exceptions reductions after introduced ZLint in the market in 2012. We can see the market research for the error reduction of only 0.02% of the certificates. There are substantial due to the handling of large authorities that consistently issue correct certificates. The small organizations that regularly give non-conformant certificates with different errors are correlated with other parts of mismanagement with large authorities' worrisome organizational practices. The WEB PKI will achieve long-term health.
