Just to clarify things, let's put a face on the phenomenon: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle-east/syrian-activist-ghiyath-matars-death-spurs-grief-debate/2011/09/14/gIQArgq8SK_story.html
Before you say "It's the dissident's fault", "everyone obviously does, or should, understand that SSL is broken", "dissidents do, or should, have something better than SSL available to them", and so on — Think about Ghiyath Matar. Just a random tailor. He was Syrian, not Iranian; we don't know him to have been tortured to death as a result of the failures of SSL. But we do know that people like him in Iran are being or have been MITM'd. _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
