It's a pity that google docs doesn't have that SSL option
- jonknee 17y agoIt does for me, the link to Google Docs from my Gmail is HTTPS. Same for Calendar and Sites. Going directly to docs.google.com redirects me to the secure version--I think it works off the SSL by default setting in Gmail.
- wallflower 17y agoGoogle will have to eventually respond (with action) to that and more security concerns outlined in this June 2009 open letter to the Google CEO demanding 'security by default' from 38 leading security researchers including Bruce Schneier and Ron Rivest. http://files.cloudprivacy.net/google-letter-final.pdf http://files.cloudprivacy.net/google-letter-final.pdf

- sriramk 17y agobut the original attack wouldn't have changed one bit with SSL. Peter Guttman wrote a great paper on how we defend where the attackers aren't attacking. SSL in this case would have been one such example. Of course, SSL has value in other cases (sniffing, ensuring you're talking to the right site, etc) but is no panacea.
