I don't see GP claiming CAs should be checking reputability for domain issuance certificates. But the thread originator mentioned subverting CAs! Something to remember about even the most advanced attackers is that they value the conti

"Outdated" is a reasonable moniker for devices that accept cleartext telnet over the open Internet. That you can retrofit security onto telnet by running it over a TLS tunnel is not especially relevant, nor does it make telnet les

Sure as a general rule, but that doesn't render those experts free from criticism when they make mistakes. That low confidence scientific hypotheses were treated as high confidence scientific results is a valid critique of expert inter
