Today I did a blog post on how browsers show expired certificates<\/a>. I figured I would take the opportunity to capture a few of the other failure cases for certificates.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The most severe example is that of an untrusted root certificate, for this scenario I figured the use of https:\/\/cacert.org<\/a> was the most direct example.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are a few cases where this error condition will come up, for example another one is if a server doesn\u2019t include all of the intermediate certificates the clients cannot determine which Certificate Authority issued the certificate.<\/p>\n

According to the current SSL Pulse data<\/a> about 7.4% of the servers in the Alexa top one million may fall into this case.<\/p>\n
