Is there some simple soft that let you make those certs, like with a root cert and then “derived” certs? On linux :-) ?
I guess people have to re-trust every now and then because certs get old, or do they trust the (public partof the) root cert and the daughter certs derived from root are churned out regularly for the sites?
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 !
