- manicdee 7y agoThat’s right, the CA certificates in your browser can be tampered with because they aren’t the actual CA saying “yes it’s legit” they are a token containing a cryptographic key which claims to prove authenticity mathematically. Banksy is more secure than web browser crypto.
- theamk 7y agoBrowser uses cryptography, so one does not have to contact CA for every visit. Banksy does not, so you do have to contact “CA” every time.
