the theory it was a spoof. One doesn’t buy certificates because of a desire to spend money – one buys certificates so others can reasonably trust (based on the CA) the certificate is valid.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

to the annoyance factor. Having to install root certificates for well known CAs is all well and good. Having to install them for everyone that decides they want to self sign would be an administrative nightmare.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
