N2 - The main security mechanism for web surfing is the SSL/TLS protocol. This is a good tool, but, it has limitations and should be used carefully. We discuss the main limitations and weaknesses of SSL/TLS as currently implemented in browsers, and show how they are exploited in spoofing (site impersonation) and phishing (scam sites) attacks. Finally we discuss some possible solutions.
