So the same operators are now complaining about encryption that didn't consider the consequences of MiTM modifying the traffic, like adding elements on HTML pages or altering DNS NXDOMAIN to redirect to an advertisement portal?
This is funny... if operators are crying now, I can just imagine what will happen with quantum based communications, where you can't even look at the data without corrupting it!
Wasn't there some famous short story about a planet whose inhabitants jammed all frequencies as the final evolution of warfare? If quantum entanglement is the answer, others will work to just make communication impossible (if it can't be observed).
>There have already been documented cases of service providers preventing STARTTLS to avoid session encryption negotiation on some sessions. Doing so allows them to inject a super cookie that enables advertisers to track users; these actions are also considered an attack.
