3 When a certificate is presented that cannot be chained back to one of the trusted root CAs, the chain is considered broken, and strictly speaking, the certificate won't be trusted. However, an application could be written that does not check the chain, accepts a chain that does not extend back to a trusted root, or allows the user to accept a certificate regardless of the state of the chain. To understand what will happen in each case requires understanding these elements for the application. Indeed, there are other factors that will also come into play such as CRL checking.

Certificate Chaining on the Internet

The certificate chaining process is managed across the Internet by including the root CA certificate in the certificate store of the browser, and hence, on Windows systems, in the certificate store of the computer. When the browser is first installed, the certificate store includes the root CA certificates of public CAs. When the browser connects to any site that has a certificate that can be chained back to a certificate in its certificate store and then authenticated, a secure channel can be negotiated. If an untrusted certificate (that is, the root CA certificate is not in the store) is presented, it is rejected. However, if the root CA is not present in the Trusted Root or Untrusted Root containers, the user will be prompted to select whether to trust the certificate. The user, in many cases, can accept the certificate without proof of trust, but that is another story.
