For those of you not in the know, Blue Coat makes the Man-In-The-Middle systems that enterprises/big corps use to read encrypted traffic.

And now one of the biggest certificate authorities owns them.

Its happening.

Bump, someone has to be interested in this.

Wait how does this thing work without breaking encryption? I mean, If I use AES 256, how they can read it?

>>55097798
Not good at all, but I've given up on evangelising infosec. People are too lazy to care, and companies aren't getting sued enough to care.

AES is a different type of encryption.

>>55099100
It can't, BlueCoat recently become an intermediate certificate authority, meaning when you visit your bank etc, they can read the traffic and display a green URL saying everything is okay.

? SSL can use AES.

This makes more sense, thanks.

Yes, but its not the AES that they're breaking necessarily.
