| Mar 31, 2018 at 7:53 | comment | added | YLearn | This is not a duplicate of the indicated question. This is not about approving/accepting the server certificate presented by the RADIUS server, this is about installing a certificate on the client device. This could be closed as potentially unclear, but as a duplicate is simply wrong. | |

| Feb 21, 2018 at 6:26 | comment | added | forest | @Pascal Indeed the question does appear to be on-topic, but the problem is that the question itself is too broad (there's no specific question to answer). "What does X entail?" is difficult to work with, even if X is related to information security. | |
| Feb 17, 2018 at 1:45 | comment | added | Out of Band | I disagree. This is about information security, although the question can be improved. The easiest way to improve it would be to link to the certificate in question so we could see what kind of certificate it was. | |

| Feb 16, 2018 at 20:36 | comment | added | BlueWizard | I'm voting to close this as unclear what's been asked. Also, Information Security is not your forum for all questions regarding computers. | |
| Feb 16, 2018 at 20:36 | comment | added | BlueWizard | You probably ask because your phone notified you about the dangers of trusting third party certificates. Your phone should give you the correct terminology and maybe even link a resource where you can further research on your own | |
| Feb 16, 2018 at 20:35 | comment | added | BlueWizard | When you use the internet connection of someone else they can see what pages you visit (because your device connects to IP adresses that are publicly listed for that webpage). If the page uses HTTPS then usually the exact activity cannot be eavesdropped (for example when you connect to facebook then your internet supplier (here: your school) can see that you're on facebook but they cannot see what you do there). If you would like to know more about this then please type HTTPS or SSL into your favorite search engine. | |
| Feb 16, 2018 at 20:21 | comment | added | dandavis | generally just what you do on their wifi. CA certs could help a school seemingly takeover an existing site from home, but i don't think that's a realistic concern. | |
| Feb 16, 2018 at 20:01 | comment | added | Steve Sether | I think we need to know more about the certificate. Is this a full CA certificate that can sign any domain? | |

| Feb 16, 2018 at 19:50 | comment | added | Mike Scott | They can use a man-in-the-middle attack to decrypt your SSL sessions whenever you’re using a network that they control. If they control your home network then they can see what you do on it, if they don’t then they can’t. | |
