Do web browsers cache SSL certificates?


Lorin Hochstein

Do any web browsers cache SSL server certificates? For example, if I change the SSL certificate on the web server, when all web browsers connect via SSL, will all browsers choose the new certificate, or maybe they have expired certificates?

I'm thinking of a situation where an SSL certificate expires and is replaced by a new one on the web server.

Well, RedGrittyBrick's answer is correct, but doesn't really answer the question. The question is whether browsers do this, not whether they should .

As far as I know, both MSIE and Chrome are actually caching certificates and as long as they're valid they don't replace them when they get a new version. Why they do it, it's not my understanding because it reduces security.
