I am currently hacking away to implement SSL in my client and server.  I personally
think that the design of SSL at Netscape (no relation) is very good.   I
am also probably ignorant compared to many of the people reading and posting to

I would appreciate it if anyone can indicate what the specific flaws are in SSL
