For Windows, OS X and iOS installers, the real security should be
carried by the installer/profile signature, not by the web page signature.
CAT provides a user API which makes it very simple to fabricate another
front-end GUI, and of course to substitute installer in the final moment.

We are yet to finalise signing of EAP-config profiles and implement this
in the Android eduroamCAT application.

This does not change the fact, that I do not think that CAT should be
embedded in other pages and would vote for preventing this.
