Alerts on SSL Certificates
Why ?
The Toile-Libre SSL certificates are signed by Cacert which is probably not considerate as “trust” by your browser or operating system.

The SSL certificates serve to verify the server identity when you set an encrypted connection with which the data (login, password, content) will not be intercepted.
