Hi,

SSL certificate in Midori is known "issue".

By default it accepts all certificates (trusted an untrusted), because 'ssl-strict' property (in libsoup) is set to FALSE (from line 167 to 197 in midori/midori-session.c file) [1].
If we change this value to TRUE, all untrusted sites are blocked.

In FAQ [2] ("Certificate Handling" section), main developer mentions gcr (it's GNOME application which enhances your currently lignome-keyring, but it's only available with GNOME3 so Gtk3).
Moreover with new webkit2 API (webkitgtk >= 1.11.91) https support in WebKit will be better.

Let us be patient.
