You need to move to strong defences. This is what WebID provides very
efficiently. Each resource can ask the requestor for their identity
before giving access to a resource. It is completely decentralised and
about as efficient as one can get.
So just as the power of computing has grown for everyone to write
silly software so TLS and https has become cheaper and cheaper. Google
is now moving to put all its servers behind https and so is Facebook.
Soon all the web will be behind https - and that will massively
increase the security on the whole web.
Increase security from snooping, yes-ish.
Only when you add WebID to the equation does TLS truly have an
opportunity to be very smart.
The physics of computing has changed, genetic algorithms are going to
become the norm rather than the exception. Trust Logics will separate
the winners from the losers. This is an inevitability.
