Re: How to download over https

1)
So, the fact that HTTPS doesn't ~actually~ provide you with any security
when a "malicious party" has root accesss to the webserver,


AND that it
adds overhead to the transmission

Does it really add network overhead of just CPU overhead on the server ?

2)
Given that "debian" is the "well-trusted" party in this instance, their
providing of both

  - their public signing key, AND
  - the *.iso MD5 and/or SHA checksum(s)

on a HTTPS-secured webpage will suffice the conditions of "creating
trust" for most people.

1) and 2) sound contradictory to me.
