Organizations install a mail gateway to inspect mail traffic for viruses, malicious content, porn, etc. They also install a web proxy to filter the same things. Why not installing a proxy to do the same for SSL. The organization has the right to defend itself, even in the cost of privacy. in SSL you can't filter anything, therefore, you can transfer viruses or any file you wish to. Blocking ssl websites is not practical. Will you prevent your employees from buying things online ? And if you allow only specific sites, how can you make sure that this websites are really to be trusted ? -- zidan zidan00 () fastmail fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but differentÂ… --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
