It's also exceptionally validating that the only current ways of "beating"extended validation ssl in particular are going through unencrypted areas in the periphery (ie, different tabs), suggesting that the solution is more on the implementation side than the dev side. Of course, we'd like to see *everything* encrypted with EV, so that such an attack would be impossible, but perhaps those expectations a mite high. I look forward to more reports from conference.
