Vivian Yeo of CNet has published a greater
interview with Taher Elgamal, the inventor of SSL and recent winner of the RSA Conference Lifetime Achievement Award. Mr. Taher responds to these subjects:
- SSL man-in-the-middle attacks and the ability to intercept session cookies
- Logging into sites that have expired SSL certificates
- How do browser makers keep users and protect them?
- How different do you think SSL would be if it had been invented in the current security landscape?
- What are you most dissatisfied about in the current security landscape?
Mr. Taher also points out, "The biggest issue with Internet security today is that there are databases with a lot of important info that are available from the Internet, from the outside." I tend to agree as we hear many stories of database break-ins from stolen laptops, to guessed passwords, to poor network security.
