When we go to websites that have generated certificates themselves you see this red screen that says **do not go there!**: ![example][1] However when it is trusted by some companies it's all good. So I have a couple of questions: - Are certificates that are generated by these companies somehow better/different? - If we take to account that NSA, for example, has every private key of these issuers doesn't it make private certificates actually more secure?
