Comment on EU Article 45 requires that browsers trust certificate authorities appointed by governments
CrabLangEnjoyer@lemmy.world 1 year agoThe government CA could just issue a new certificate for let’s say Google, force your ISP to return a wrong IP when you ask your ISPs dns server what the address of Google is and then return a fake Google page instead or forward traffic to Google on your behalf and read all data. And since your browser trusts the new fake Google certificate from the government you won’t get any https error or warning.
