I know of at least one private university that MITMs every SSL connection. Doesn't seem lime it would be that hard to look for the Telex signature at that point.
Of course, the university is training everybody to click on "just trust this certificate", but that's a different issue.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoWhich one? Seems like a huge breach of trust, not to mention probably illegal as hell. Why does the dean need to know my credit card number?
- Vitaly 15y agoHmm, how exactly do you do that? Browsers are supposed to verify certificates
- trotsky 15y agoJust like enterprises, they get you to install their CA cert as a new trusted root and then they sign their own certs for each domain as they flow through. Corporate IT will just push it through AD or pre-configure it, I'd assume campus IT gets you to run an executable to install it. Since all the traffic will be signed by them you won't get very far without accepting their root.
