MUST USE END TO END ENCRYPTION WHETHER THEY WANT TO OR NOT.

https, with intelligent intermediate entities of CAs, or PKIs
in general, are not secure end to end vulnerable to MitM
attacks on the CAs.

Despite my warning here, which was privately denied by an
security AD without reasoning, a CA of Diginotar was actually
compromised to attack google successfully.

So, never say a PKI, including https, is secure end to end.
