Hi there,
I assume, this question is pretty far away from what most of you expect
a guy creating his own little CA could possibly ask ... but I dare anyway
If I have a browser with a VeriSign CA certificate and a user certificate
from VersiSign, how does the browser check for my certificate's validity?
I mean, wha does actually happen? Does use hash values within the two
certificates? Does it go online to contact VeriSign and "challenge" it using
VeriSign's public key?
I apologize in advance if this question is way to stupid ... however I still
wonder ... does someone have the nerves to tell me, please?
