Is the Trusted CA list (with the respective CAs public keys) available
anywhere ? Internet Explorer has it hard-coded, now and then we see some
patch coming from MS that updates the ROOT CA list. How does Netscape (or
Mozilla) check the CAs signatures ? Do they also have the list ?

Does Verisign pay Microsoft to put the list in the Browser or MS pays
Verisign for the list ?

Finally, if one is writing a new browser, how can it be capable of verifying
the authenticity (signature) of the certificates received from servers
without having the respective CAs public keys to check the signature with ?

Any other way ?

Thanks a lot,
roberto.
