Secure Access to the CDN
------------------------
When the the MathJax CDN is accessed via the address
``http://cdn.mathjax.org``, data is downloaded over a regular, insecure
HTTP connection. This introduces a security risk, since it is
possible a hostile 3rd party could intercept the MathJax program data,
and replace it. This is sometimes called a
`man-in-the-middle <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack>`_ attack.
To prevent such attacks, it is necessary to access the MathJax CDN
over a secure HTTPS connection. This can be easily done by using the
following ``<script>`` tag instead of the one listed above:
.. code-block:: html
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://d3eoax9i5htok0.cloudfront.net/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML">
</script>
Currently, the Amazon Cloudfront service used by the MathJax CDN does
not support the use of a human-friendly name like cdn.mathjax.org for
secure connections. However, this address is stable and safe to use.
