But if they are using a self signed cert, how do you KNOW you are
connecting to www.amazon.com? How do you know the DNS wasn't hacked and
you are being redirected to some other server with a self signed cert
reporting www.amazon.com? Anyone can create a self signed cert for
Amazon.com. It is the CA's certification of Amazon's certificate that lets
you know that you are in the right place.
