In most cases, root certificate authorities do not issue Website certificates directly. They usually issue certificates to intermediate authorities, who when issue certificates to Websites.

This sequence of issuing (or signing) certificates from a root certificate authority to a Website is called certificate chain.

In Google Chrome 124, the certificate chain information is displayed on the "Details" tab of the Certificate Viewer.

1. Run Google Chrome 124 and visit https://www.yahoo.com/. You see Yahoo Website displayed with a properties icon displayed next to the Website address.

2. Click the properties icon on the left of the Website address. You see the site properties dialog box displayed:

credit card numbers) is private when it is send 
to this site.
