“Ok, I guess what I should have made more clear previously
is that the problem isn’t so much SSL, but how (or what) we use it
for. The problem is this:”
- “Internet commerce is growing at an amazing rate (so far this
year my family has spent close to $2,000 online, last year we spent
$0).” - “The only rapid payment system that people have “bought in to”
is credit cards, they are relatively simple, and well understood,
almost everyone has one (you can find stories about dog’s being
issued credit cards).” - “Debit cards require a pin number and card reader to be used, I
wouldn’t trust any merchants with that information.”
