I've seen those "smart" parking meters and in general I prefer them -- I always forget change at home! But it also means that I can't use up the last minutes from some guy who's overpaid for his parking spot. I wonder if the EV SSL stuff is the same I've been hearing for the last six months ago. In general, I think the argument that MITM attacks are just as possible with EV is somewhat irrelevant, since SSL technology will always have this vulnerability (it's really a browser issue). But maybe the above lecture will have some new info? Interesting stuff. I’ve seen those “smart” parking meters and in general I prefer them — I always forget change at home!
