Cryptography achileus heel is the UI.
Think of PGP, adding a new key toyour browser, creating a certificate, adding an exception... Always unintuitive CLI.
In terms of UI, I still don't get why for firefox a clear text password other an unencrypted connexion is not worse than a self signed certificate (it should be identically considered dangerous).
The only crypto UI I can use is ssh.
- blahbl4hblahtoo 13y agoYou know, you're right. SSH has about the most sane crypto ui out of everything. That's a really sad state of affairs. I also agree with your point about self signed certificates...you it seems like sites should be able to identify you by that. It's probably easier to keep the certificate store on your machine safe than it is to actually follow the best practices that I've seen regarding password selection and usage.
