Comment on TLS Notary is in alpha
AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 1 year agoIts a bit more complicated than that. There is a fair bit of cryptography that happens where you basically cooperate with another party to communicate with the server in a way where you cant cheat.

Yeah, I’m not being reductive, just trying to understand the mechanics. The notary is making requests on behalf of the other, right?

I will quote the devs directly: “This Verifier is not “a man in the middle”. Instead, the Verifier participates in a secure multi-party computation (MPC) to jointly operate the TLS connection without seeing the data in plain text.”

Yeah, I don’t think SSH tunnel can snoop either, but maybe I misunderstand them.
