How to handle SSL certificates smartly in Firefox
SSL certificates validation is often annoying. In most of cases, the certificate is not acceptable by Firefox because it is self-signed by the server. Some of personal blogs does not have their certificate signed by a known authority.
I think Perspectives is a good solution for this problem, which does not concern only Firefox. According to perspectives website:Perspectives is a new approach to help clients securely identify Internet servers in order to avoid "man-in-the-middle" attacks. Perspectives is simple and cheap compared to existing approaches because it automatically builds a robust database of network identities using lightweight network probing by "network notaries" located in multiple vantage points across the Internet.
