I saw Adrien present some of the earlier UI related work (is this warning scary? Serious? Ignored?). Also the causes why certs are considered invalid. It’s nice to see real work on what happens when users meet crypto systems.
One thing missing from the discussion is the effect https everywhere has. Lots of businesses for example pay someone to stand up a website with menus, phone numbers, etc. then it never gets updated. What happens when such a site uses https but the cert expires? Mostly not a problem we see today because they aren’t using https. I’m predicting that cert errors are going to explode in a few years time.
dammit google, why does the download link look like this? I can’t read your fake rendered pdf in one browser, so why make it so difficult to download a pdf that I can read in a real pdf renderer?

I’m going to guess that will be useful for about three people and then expire.
