Wonder if she knows that Namecoin could provide a nice alternative to the whole digital certificate process. Different solution, but one that avoids trusting CAs to tell us who is on the server end of our interactions.

And the hits just keep rollin in. Remember last year's incident where Google caught the French govt faking Google certificates on an internal network?

Indeed, problems with SSL/PKI are getting worse by a day. There is another good article at https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x ... t-business

I've left a comment there... NameCoin is the solution. We just need to accelerate and push forward, which I personally try to do.
