[HacktionLab] Valid SSL certification (was:Proposed talks)

[Mike Harris]

here's a fun one.

I've now got a startssl account but when I try to go to the
Authentication to login and order the cert, I get this message:

Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to auth.startssl.com.
SSL peer was unable to negotiate an acceptable set of security parameters.
(Error code: ssl_error_handshake_failure_alert)

Seems worse than us that does.
