: Goverment's Certificate on Android?
: Baron Blue Guardian January 23, 2016, 03:11:55 PM
A few days ago I rooted my Sony Xperia Z3 with a pre-rooted firmware from the xda Forum. Today, I was going to clean it up, install firewalls, deleting my gmail-acc from the phone, setup vpn etc., make it ready to hack with it without being catched. Then I checked the certificates installed on my phone, just for fun, you know. But I was surprised when i saw that there were certificates of the chinese and turkish goverment  :o of course i disabled them from the system. But this i surprising, isn't it?  [emoji14]

I'm a noob, is this so baneful like I think or is this just an a petty certificate, that means nothing?

I got curious about this also so I googled it and came up with this https://bluebox.com/questioning-the-chain-of-trust-investigations-into-the-root-certificates-on-mobile-devices/. From what I gathered with it is that if you were to remove or disable the certification then you have the possibility of losing SSL/HTTPS because your trust key will be unable to verify.
