Thanks for your answer.
But how to trust our browsers?
For example in Firefox there are as CAs:
- Xramp security services, but it looks like their web site is not reachable [1] A related website [0] is even not on HTTPS? How this is supposed to be a valid CA?
Yet if a certificate is signed by this CA, a browser will signal no warning (except if it tries to reach their OCSP end point).
[0] http://xramp.com http://xramp.com
[1] www.xrampsecurity.com
- xupybd 4y agoYou are exactly correct. It's building a chain of trust. If any link in that chain is compromised then you have a security hole. It's not perfect, much like locking your house only goes so far when someone can cut a hole in your wall and walk in.
