:::Another attempt at explanation: server certificate is accepted because it's SIGNED by (private key of) AUTHORITY. The certificate (public key) of AUTHORITY is part of browser. So, the implicitly trusted certificates of authorities are registered/listed in browser, but no list of server certificates is needed. And yes, you need to pay for getting your certificate signed by one of those few (120?) authorities which are part of most browsers. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 10:53, 11 April 2014 (UTC) | :::Another attempt at explanation: server certificate is accepted because it's SIGNED by (private key of) AUTHORITY.

::::Yep, and being signed does not require being registered. So, instead of "if the certificate is registered the browser accepts it", perhaps "if the certificate is ''signed by a trusted authority'' the browser accepts it".[[User:Jezzaaaa|Jezzaaaa]] ([[User talk:Jezzaaaa|talk]]) 21:42, 14 April 2014 (UTC) | ::::Yep, and being signed does not require being registered.
