I'm looking for, as a starter, a birds eye view of some
docs (or high level explanation) of how the X509v3
extension "Authority Key Identifier" is used to validate
a certificate within a browser. I have examples of certs that
I know Netscape considers to be valid, but for which I do not
have the CA cert in the browser. I've been through a number of
docs, archives, and the source, to no avail.
Could someone enlighten me as to the basics? A starting
point is all that I'm looking for, unless someone has
more time to dispose of ;-)
Thanks, Thomas
