Comment on EU Article 45 requires that browsers trust certificate authorities appointed by governments
krigo666@lemmy.world 1 year agoThe CA (Certification Authority) is what validates the encryption certificates that TLS uses in HTTPS. In this case it can certify a cypher that can be used in a site’s certificates and be known to a government agency (the 3rd party) and used to decrypt the HTTPS stream. This basically an Man-In-The-Middle attack.
