more protected from what?
- vancan1ty 9y ago- protected from third parties reading the data in transit - protected from alteration of the data in transit without either end's knowledge and, IF you have a means to authenticate the owner of the certificate outside of the regular certificate signing process - protection from impersonation of the other end of the connection
- vancan1ty 9y agomy point is that TLS can still be useful without the participation of a certificate authority. but you have to be careful.
- ams6110 9y agoRight. I've visited Ted's site in the past, and had no certificate warnings. Now, suddenly, I am getting warnings. So isn't that the exact scenario in which I should be very suspicious? It's just a blog; I'm not submitting anything, but still it's an indicator that something fishy might be going on.
