I don't know about 3D-SSL, or 3D Secure, but the "3D" in 3D *SET* stands
for "3 Domain". God knows what that means.

3D SET is, of course, the smoking crater formerly known as SET, the
protocol nobody could refuse -- but everyone did.

Who knows, maybe they'll actually make it happen?

Naaaawwww...

Let's sing that old -- and I do mean old -- PKI fight-song once again,
boys, but this time with *feeling*, okay?

Cheers,
RAH
