bunch of reasons most of which won't make a lot of sense unless you do IT security for a living, I guess the most accessible answer goes something like this.
Most people reuse the same passwords for a majority of things. They shouldn't, it's bad etc etc but they do. So in the interests of not feeding the "bad guys (tm)" any more valid passwords that will work across a variety of logins, it's best if we can prevent it. It's not hard to prevent it and almost any site worth the name these days does authentication via an encrypted mechanism for that reason.
Re the costs, somewhat valid, but personally i'd be happy to accept a chockstone self signed cert for the purpose. Yes it will pop up a security alert saying it's not a big verisign / thwate certificate that cost a lot of money but equally it will go someway to helping enhance the security.
Other concerns include traffic analysis and a bunch of other potential privacy issues which I admit are somewhat esoteric but still relevant. |
