    At 14:27, you will see that the CNNIC cert is indeed listed in the keychain of the macOS (an oversight by me). However, built into browsers is a "black list" where the browser itself can invalidate a root certificate. So when Google found the breach, it added code to the next update of its browser that will effectively revoke CNNIC's root cert even though one appears in the operating system's certificate storage area. When users launched Chrome, it will search for an update.. when one exists it installs the new code and .. there.. that certificate is revoked and so Chrome will no longer validate CNNIC's certs. I believe that browsers have both white and black lists of root certs built into their code so they can add root certs, if they don't think one exists in the OS, or invalidate root certs. But all OSes have a central storage area for CA root certs so browsers don't need to store a complete list.

      Can we see the blacklist that a browser, has for root certs? Or do you think that is intentionally hidden from end users?

      @@DataVids I am not that familiar with the internal workings of all browsers. Chrome contains a CRLset that is a list of banned sites. It can’t be viewed directly but can be dumped with public code. (dev.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/crlsets).

    I finished my IT studies 2 years ago and never got clear in certificates understanding. Now I wanted to acquire this competence once for all. Watched many videos, still didn't get the thing. Then I found yours. This is masterpiece explanations, everything is now crystal clear into my mind. Most of the videos skip steps so it's not understandable. Thank you so much for this high quality lesson.

    One piece of information missing in this video that will be helpful: Data encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted with the private key, and data encrypted with the private key can only be decrypted with the public key. So notice that the hash of the SSL certificate is encrypted with the private key and can only be decrypted with the public key.

      @tnb178 4 года назад

      The problem is if the private key ever gets compromised at some point in the entire future of humanity, all past communication becomes compromised. Not good. Private key should only be used for identification and after a breach simply be replaced without further damage.
