[Bob Sneidar]

When working with web servers, encryption is in fact ALWAYS required, because if someone can get at your web server they can plant drive by malware. Anything exposed to the internet requires modern encryption, and it can be argued that anything exposed to ANY network requires it. 

The alternative would have been to form an international squad of specialized assasins to hunt down every known hacker and purveyor of malware, and leave their tortured maimed bodies on the steps of the capital buildings of wherever they are from, so everyone gets the message. Unfortunately, the legal ramifications would have been too much to overcome. <sigh>
