Self-signed certificates are incorrectly identified as trusted #16

Closed lrosenthol closed 3 years ago

From JPEG Fake Media:

Section 13.2.1.1 permits self-signed certificates and says that "Self-signed certificates must be explicitly trusted by validators."

Yes, that sentence is wording confusingly. It should read, “For a self-signed certificate to be trusted, it must be known and trusted explicitly by the validator. Self-signed certificates should never appear on a trust list.”
