Why would you send us a google URL, that forces users to register with google, just to obtain access to a copy of a document that is available for free without registration at its source web site? Read it at http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/cormac/papers/2009/solongandnothanks.pdf > Check esp. section 7.6 "So What Can We Do?". This paper is about a year old, and we discussed it here when it was now. My favorite quote: "Given a choice between dancing pigs and security, users will pick dancing pigs every time." It's so true. If you really want to disable all security warnings, there is a Firefox extension that will do it. Just use it. Maybe you could even improve it to display dancing pigs! -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
