Quick HTTPS question
Quick question: I have this guy claiming that Chase's online banking is insecure, because it's an http page and not an https page (http://www.chase.com), and that "you can login on an unsecure page" (sic).
I could be totally wrong here, but that's not an issue, is it? I would think that as soon as you hit the Log On button, an SSL or TLS session is set up, and that session is used to send the username and password. The fact that the session is only set up when you hit Log On (and not before you even start filling out your username and password) is insignificant, no? In both cases, the username and password are sent over a (secure) SSL connection, so what's the problem?
