for consumers. (An unstated message (for obvious reasons) was: it makes
porn easier to transfer legally, given porn was the first e-commerce MASS market
to adopt SSL). Life was admittedly easier in those days because 2 pillars of
the IETF community were spending mega bucks asserting the opposite of
what SSL asserted (there IS NO social “need” to encrypt credit
cards, or , even if you encrypt them you don’t need certs/CAs to solve
the key management scalability problem). Both ran into social and technical walls,
fast, justifying SSL’s core design concept.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>In an effort to get passed the "no customers are asking

It's got several links to various blog posts and <a
