Site upgraded to support SSL
Today during a coffee break I upgraded the site to SSL, so you can now surf to https://www.seitics.de as well and have a little bit more privacy. The web server will only accept ciphers from the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard which basically means no symmetric key sizes below 128 bits, no SSLv2 and no broken ciphers either.
You will need to install the embinet GmbH Global Root CA which you can get as a certificate file or by downloading and executing embinet's Windows executable installer which will let you add the Root CA's certificate to your Firefox profile and Windows certificate store automatically.
If you don't install the certificate you will get some nasty warnings that the site is using an invalid certificate bla bla might be forged bla bla... well in essence the message says that the owner of this site didn't really feel like paying the certificate monopolists money for 'perfect' authenticity. Just wait a couple of weeks for someone to subvert your browsers security which would enable the attacker to add any root certificate he likes anyway. The certificate system is not the weakest link by far, you are.
