Standard employee/employer agreement. when you are at work you are using their computer and generally have rules as to what you can and cannot do on the Internet during company time. They have a right to verify that you are in fact following the rules and you do not have any expectation of privacy. That being said making an effort to inspect SSL transmission is just micromanagement. However im sure some security professional would disagree. > _______________________________________________ > LinuxUsers mailing list > [email protected] > http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers >
