Are you implying that the hijacking of encrypted browser
sessions is something that we should be worried about?
If so, I am genuinely interested in hearing more.
Note that I'm not asking if it is *theoretically*
possible, but rather if it's something that a normal,
prudent individual should be worried about more than,
say, getting whacked on the head by a meteorite...

How would it be done?  Are there any examples of it
actually happening in circumstances that a "normal" person
would be likely to find himself?  And I'm talking about
an encrypted session being "hijacked" once established,
not during some sort of cleartext/initialization phase,
or via inside info (e.g. a key or password) being obtained
by other means.

   this?) in order that this thread be at least
   obliquely appropriate on this list...         ]
