Hi,

Can anyone here give me any valid reason, why I should trust the plethora of 
certification authorities, that come with the openssl cert bundle installed 
with the browser?

And why this is a good thing can be seen with the latest openssl fuckup. 
Someone who was quick enough already generated a valid "signed" OpenSSL cert 
for akamai that will get accepted by any browser :-)
And then there's this bank whose certificate only expires after 3 years:

That means, all certificates for this bank are practically worthless for as 
long as the old certificate is still valid.
