oh, this old gem.
1) this means you entered a url in the browser when connecting to a server
using SSL or TLS, but the site name in the server certificate (called the
common name ror CN) is not the same. for example, you connect to
https://www.somesite.com, but the CN contains, say, the IP address of the
server or vice versa.
2) this usually means the certificate has expired or is not yet valid. x.509
certs are a little like credit cards - they have a date they become valid,
and a date they expire.
3) this means the cert is issued by a certificate authority (CA) that you do
not trust. a good example of this is when you create your own CA using
Microsoft Cerificate Services included in Windows 2000 and later, and issue
your own certs. by default, all clients will get this error until they trust
your root certificate
