Summary: Certificate Patrol extension for Firefox
Description:
Web browser trusts a lot of certification authorities and chained sub-authorities, and it does so blindly. The root CAs can delegate permission to issue certificates to an unlimited amount of subordinate CAs (SCA) just by signing their certificate, and everyone can even buy such a CA from GeoTrust or elsewhere. It is unclear how many intermediate certification authorities really exist, and yet each of them has "god-like power" to impersonate any https web site using a Man in the Middle (MITM) attack scenario. Certificate Patrol add-on reveals when certificates are updated, so you can ensure it was a legitimate change.
