well if a bad SP redirects the browser to the phished IDP (or just keeps
the browser), from that browser's point of view, it will be interacting
with a perfectly valid site (i.e. one whose cert matches domain etc) so
it should be perfectly happy with its SSL handshake. The MITM isn't 'in
the middle' from the browser's expectations.
