Users might not care to trust the very mechanism that's supposed to provide online trust.
Remember SSLStrip? Remember THC-SSL-DOS? Remember when DigiNotar was breached by attackers who issued more than 500 counterfeit SSL certs? That's just a few of the successful hacks that have already ruptured the system that so much Internet security depends upon... and there will be more.
Then again, none of this would be a problem if we simply didn't expect so much from SSL and rely upon it so heavily. So maybe SSL isn't the problem. Maybe we are.
