but if it is anything like any of a dozen other signing techs out there, it will probably surprise in how vulnerable it is. Most signing applications were put together with so many false assumptions that they are either unusable or not worth using. Included in that list is cousins like S/MIME.
You could accuse me of spreading doom and gloom and pessimism that there is no solution to our woes .... but not FUD.
Your quote above was the textbook definition of FUD . Negative, vague, with no actual information regarding the technology you don't like [S/MIME], only general, unprovable opinion. I could take your quote verbatim and say "PGP", and you couldn't prove me wrong one way or the other .
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FUD
FUD is an abbreviation for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt, a sales or marketing strategy of disseminating negative but vague or inaccurate information on a competitor's product. The term originated to describe misinformation tactics in the computer software industry and has since been used more broadly.
