Version 0.24 WORTHLESS root certificates This area contains explicitly "worthless" root certificates. Do not rely on these certificates in a real environment - you install them entirely at your own risk! Examples of worthless CAs include the "tutorial" on-line exercise CA, and the Globus Certificate Service. Especially the Globus Certificate Service is governed by this disclaimer from the Globus web site: " The Globus Certificate Service is a service that issues low-quality certificates to users who require certificates to use the Globus Toolkit(C) and do not have other means of acquiring certificates. The Globus Certificate Service is not a true CA (for example, it does not revoke or reissue certificates) and certificates from the Globus Certificate Service are intended solely for experimentation and testing. Care should be taken when using certificates issued by it, particularly on production resources. We strongly encourage users to use more secure alternatives to the Globus Certificate Service "
