It is a lot of work, but it could work (also big company networks eavesdrop https traffic on this way). | |

They are obsoleted in that practically all certs valid today (and issued in the last few years) are under newer roots. However, some can still chain back to old roots; for example when Verisign went to "Generation 5" in 2006 and it initially wasn't in most clients, they provided a bridge root back to their initial 1996 root and I've seen servers still providing the obsolete bridge in the last year or so. You might see how much ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html screams. | |
