The irony is, these companies that operate trust lists accept zero responsibility in the case you are defrauded using a certificate issued by a CA they deem trustworthy.
- psergeant 9y agoWhy is that ironic? How much do you pay for access to Mozilla’s trust store?
- dtech 9y agoYou are of course free to maintain your own list and not use the lists they provide for free if this is your concern.
- lfam 9y agoI don't think that fraudulent behavior by site operators is relevant to the X.509 certificate system. All that the certificates do is make it possible to ensure you are talking to the server at the address you intend to communicate with. TLS has nothing to do with the morality, ethics or legality of the site operator. It's too bad that the English word "trust" has so many meanings that people get confused about what it means in this context.
