I do think websites should try to protect their users over an insecure network connection, yes.

I do think websites should try to protect their users over an insecure network connection, yes.
- iuguy 16y agoThat's an interesting though. Where do you draw the line? Should websites protect users who don't have AV, firewalls or share user accounts?
- mike-cardwell 16y agoI don't think websites should protect users that don't have AV, firewalls or share user accounts no. I also don't think websites should protect users who cross the road without looking both ways. None of those things are relevant to protecting the communications between the website and the user. If the users machine is compromised, that's the users problem. If the users machine isn't compromised, yet the website can't be accessed over an inherently untrustable network like the Internet, then the website has some flaws that it needs to deal with. SSL is a start. DNSSEC is becoming important too and I will be using it on grepular.com when Verisign signs "com" at the beginning of next year.
