The EFF has put up a new page for a project which it calls the SSL observatory. They have spent months collecting information about SSL certificates across the net; as one might expect, they have found some interesting things. Those results are really only available as a set of slides [PDF] for now, but it’s worth a look. It seems there are over 6,000 valid certificates out there for “localhost”…
