Listing of Trusted Root CA in Google Chrome

This section provides a tutorial example on how to see the list of trusted root CA (PKI Authorities) pre-installed in Google Chrome.

As we learned earlier, the trust of HTTPS Websites is based on certificates of trusted root CA (PKI authorities).

Before using the Google browser Google Chrome on my computer to visit any HTTPS Websites, I want to see who are those trusted PKI authorities.

1. Open the certificate manager through Chrome settings as shown in the previous tutoria.

2. Click the "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities" tab. I see a list of about 55 pre-installed trusted root CA certificates. You may see more or less certificates, if you are using a different operating system or a different version of Chrome.
