I have a problem accessing a url under https and it is giving me the following message:
The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.

If you arrived at this page by clicking a link, check the website address in the address bar to be sure that it is the address you were expecting.
When going to a website with an address such as https://example.com, try adding the 'www' to the address, https://www.example.com.
If you choose to ignore this error and continue, do not enter private information into the website.



For more information, see "Certificate Errors" in Internet Explorer Help.

Thanks,

Yes. If you want to get the full coverage go to twit.tv and find a security now episode about ssl. The short answer is that the certificate could be phony, expired, or self issued to cause this error. Of these, only phony is a problem if you trust the site and it is by far the least likely.
