what is this certificate and why would I care?

alethiophile on Nov 20, 2007

Some thing that certifies the site as secure.

misterhaan on Nov 20, 2007

certificates are for two things:
1. encrypts data sent between the browser and the website
2. verifies the identity of the website

#1 still works with an expired certificate and is often all i care about.

#2 sort of still happens even with an expired certificate, but you get a warning saying that the company that the website paid in order to get the certificate hasn't verified the website's identity for a while (for example, a year or two).

most visitors to a website want to see the padlock icon that means their information is going to be "safe" if they're doing something like entering credit card information. expired certificates or certificates issued by a server that the browser hasn't been told to trust trigger security warnings, look unprofessional, and can drive potential customers away.

are these certificates something specific to IE?

anti on Nov 20, 2007

All reasonably modern browsers will check for certificates whenever encryption is present. (https:// instead of http://). Log out and ten back in and you will see it.
