SSL is suppose to do two things ... 1) are you really talking to the
webserver that you think you are talking to and 2) hide/encrypt
information during transmission.
the attacks that I'm aware have been with regard to the first item
.... including allowing various kinds of MITM-attacks (as mentioned
in previous posts).
recent post about MITM-attack
