Re: PunkBuster service try to connnect to verisign.com?
said by MAT777  :But for example, when I visit my bank site, what check the ssl certificate? Firefox? Your web browser checks the cert: it insures that the Common Name on the certificate matches the URL in the address line, that the cert has a chain of signing from the trusted root certs, that the cert has not expired, and that the cert has not been added to a revocation list (there are other housekeeping checks too).
All online banking uses SSL: if you see https in the URL, it's using an SSL certificate.
