Guest Mke HammerFish Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I work for a large company that has their own internal network, and Web Site. For a year now I have hit their site and IE errors with the standard… There is a problem with this website's security certificate. The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority. Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server. When I ask the explanation is… Internet Explorer is looking for an external server to validate the certificate, but <our company> certificates are on an internal server. This sounds a bit bogus to me… 1. What questions should I ask the company find out if this is truly valid explanation? 2. Are there any reasons a company would do this rather than the standard way of getting a certificate. 3. Am I wise to not hit the site whereby transactional information is sent across the wire un-encrypted? 4. Is there a way to verify externally if the site is sending/receiving encrypted information?
