Not if they have a root cert.
- Thorrez 1y agoIf China uses a root cert to issue bogus certs, that'll get caught by certificate transparency. Assuming people use browsers that enforce certificate transparency.
- eptcyka 1y agoKazakhstan literally forced their own cert for lots of popular sites for a while, expecting users to click the through and accept them. It was made illegal to not accept government certificates.

- Thorrez 1y agoWas Kazakhstan successful? esafak's link seems to imply it wasn't very successful. Anyways, my point wasn't that a government can't MITM using a root cert. My point is that the government can't do so secretly. The whole world will know if they try.
- viraptor 1y agoThat's not a property of QUIC. Yes, if you trust both sides, then you trust both sides. That's not what people normally understand as MitM.
- lazide 1y agoPre-cert usage/issuance lists, it would take a keen eye to spot auto-mitm using root certs.
