  23. Re:Most clueless article ever? on Mozilla SSL Policy Considered Bad For the Web · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think so, there is nothing inherently wrong with a self signed cert. The issue is if you goto a fake bank site and all you notice that the "security lock" is on and you just trust that lock.

    When it comes down to it what the user need to know is, is there 3rd party verification, which is what a CA will provide.

    The Lock only indicates that encryption is used, it doesn't indicate 3rd party verification. What's really needed is a different "security lock" that indicates 3rd party verification, because that check is what is really needed for users.

    But there's one problem you understand what the error message says and means.
    My parents couldn't get past that message even after I explained it. I had to downgrade FF because they would freak out when they saw that message.
    From a usability point of view its terrible.

    Do you really trust the CA? Its really not that hard to get a certificate, you pay them money and then they give you certificate.
