Certificate Validity Period
The browser identifies the certificate as self-signed for each new Web session, which can cause a security alert message. You can bypass this message by adding the certificate to the browser’s certificate store or by disabling browser alerts (not recommended).
Self-signed certificates are not necessarily secure because the certificate owner is merely confirming his own identity instead of verification by a trusted third party. Certificates from a trusted third party are considered more secure.
