Just a quick comment here,

Since when do SSL certificates protect a user against MITM attacks.
True it makes it harder to perform a MITM attack, but it is still very much possible.

I was referring to SSL protocol, not just the certificate, of course. But assuming this is also what you meant... Can you explain what way you know of doing successful MITM attack on SSL session?
