Umm, no. The IDN problem was a trust issue. With the IDN issue, I could get a DNS name and certificate for something that was rendered as paypal.com, even though it wasn't. So that could be exploited to have you trust a site that should not be trusted. Please explain how these issue could be exploited to create a vulnerability. -- Eric Dorland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1024D/16D970C6 097C 4861 9934 27A0 8E1C 2B0A 61E9 8ECF 16D9 70C6 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s++: a-- C+++ UL+++ P++ L++ E++ W++ N+ o K- w+ O?
