I bet Sam is going to say: if you don't trust the cert, how can you be sure that a man in the middle did not provide it and that your conversation isn't actually being observed? Therefore, such privacy is a total illusion. On an emotional level I agree with you, however, and certainly an encrypted (read: obfuscated) byte stream would at least deter a casual packet-sniffer. b -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician Zygoat Creative Technical Services http://www.zygoat.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your Android app more play: Bring it to the BlackBerry PlayBook in minutes.
