From a recent email [1] by Jonas Sicking:

> Signatures also provide something that the web is in big need of. An

> only thing needed by an attacker that wants to steal all your

That is one part of the email that I didn’t understand. How can signatures help 
with this? Any hints and/or explanations greatly appreciated.
