I'd have to agree with Eric on this one. SSL is a proven encryption method.
Billions of dollars are transefer via SSL encypted sites every year. If was
as trivial to 'hack' as you suggest, Kevin, I don't think it would be in
use. Perhaps you could do as Eric suggested and provide some factual proof.

Your joking right.
"SSL in and of itself provides very little security"
That's why most of the internet uses it right?.
Your gonna have to back up statements like yours with some serious factual
backing otherwise your comments will be discarded as B.S coming form someone
who doesn't know what they are talking about.

SSL in and of itself provides very little security... Way to easy to hack.
Look into a Neoteris (now Juniper) SSL VPN/Proxy. This way evil hack3r can
not ride the SSL stream into your network and past any IDS or IPS systems.

Are you using Exchange? Why not use OWA and secure it with SSL?
