You just know that people won't want to totally reboot their machines every time they want to bank, because that'll break their excel+quicken+msmoney integrated finances. So they try make a bootable HD partition, or run it under vmware, or copy the "trusted" client off. These of course cannot be allowed by the banks if they want to preserve the illusion of their secure banking app... And now we have a market for cracked "trusted" banking clients, both for phishers and lazy people... it's game copy protection wars all over again. :) -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
