Whos auditing the ca?

Who's auditing the CA's currently trusted by your browser?

  • various 3rd parties. this is required by the cab forum which my browser requires as well.

    inform yourself if you want to write stuff like that. even more, its sad that people think CAs have zero checking and just give what, money to browsers to be included? Thanksfully its not like that yet.

Who's auditing the auditors? Remember Moody's? It's not entirely analogous, but it's not far from it.

At some point down the chain, you have to rely on trust to some degree. Either disappear in to the wilderness and completely disconnect from the grid or - at some point - you have to trust someone.
