Re:Symantec Issues Intermediate CA Certificate for Blue Coat... by api on Thursday May 26, 2016 @07:15PM (#11782470)
This is a baby step in the direction of legitimate MITMing of SSL, which is something many of Blue Coat's customers would love. SSL's entire security profile is built around trust in a huge number of CAs, and if Blue Coat and other can persuade one to allow this in any form then SSL is fundamentally and permanently broken (without pinning or out of band checks) for pretty much all users except highly technical ones.
