  • I was forced to learn some of it at work (using and signing medical payment transactions, with x509 certificates) so I have ar least a starting point. I have no idea how the revoke process works though, I can’t figure out a way that it functions without a central authority getting queried regularly. I thonk I can start without that knowledge though.

    Anyway, with your information I’m up and running, thank you again!

    “Derived certificates” not child certs, noted !








  • And you still can’t self certify.

    It’s cute the big players are so concerned with my little security of my little home server.

    Or is there a bigger plan behind all this? Like pay more often, lock in to government controlled certs (already done I guess because they control DNS and you must have a “real” website name to get a free cert)?

    I feel it’s 50% security 50% bullshit.

    Edit: thank you all I will dive down the CA certification rabbit hole now! Have worked in C++ & X509 on the client side so maybe I’ll be able to figure it out.
