Certificate Authority info

I am a Certificate Authority, if you choose to trust me.

If you accept my CA key, the following things will happen:

1. You are indicating to your web browser that you trust the certificates that I digitally sign with my key.
2. Your web browser will store the certificate authority file in its repository on your hard drive.
3. Web sites that use certificates that I signed with my key will be automatically trusted by your browser, so you will no longer see certificate warnings.

The downside: if someone were to steal my CA key from its secure location and to crack my password (or to beat me with a rubber hose until I give in), they could theoretically stage an elaborate attack that would ultimately result in you perhaps disclosing your credit card number, social security number, or other private bits of info. This is almost infeasible.
