dafuser said:There are network devices which can decrypt SSL traffic to view and inspect the SSL connection contents. So you never really know who's watching what passes down the wire.
scruffy said:I seriously doubt this - from all I know of cryptography (I'm not a cryptographer, but I am somewhat knowledgeable on computer security), this is quite unlikely. Unless someone has discovered some very important math that isn't in the public domain, an SSL connection means the only entities that can view the plaintext are the endpoints. Anyone in between can watch the traffic, and all they'll know is what algorithms were used to establish the encrypted communications. The content of those communications is safe.
scruffy said:So, all this proves is that encryption does you no good if you can't trust the party you're communicating with. But we knew that already, it was never a claim of any cryptographic method.
