Imagine trying to reverse-engineer the complex, often unexpected patterns and behaviors that emerge from simple rules. This challenge has inspired researchers and enthusiasts that work with cellular automata for decades. In cellular automata, we generally approach things from the bottom-up. We choose local rules, then investigate the resulting emergent patterns. What if we could create ...

How to distrust a CA without any certificate errors

75 tptacek 2025-03-06 23:04:58 UTC 21 dadrian.io Llama Share

A distrust in the Web PKI occurs when a certification authority is removed from a root store due to security, compliance, or trust issues, causing certificate errors in browsers. The SCTNotAfter mechanism allows for forward-looking distrusts, enabling existing certificates to continue working without errors while preventing new certificates from being issued by the distrusted CA.
