Has 128-bit SSL encryption ever been broken?

In a discussion regarding WiFi security, the issue arose of whether https sites are safe to use on unsecured public WiFi networks.



Part of the answer to that question is whether 128-bit SSL encryption has ever been broken.



Anybody know?



Thanks.

There is of course no way to know for sure. What is known is that SSL is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, and that some SSL implementations have had vulnerabilities of their own. See "SSL Man-in-the-Middle Attacks"
