Abstract
A method, system, and computer usable program product for verifying certificate use are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A secure data communication is directed to a certificate use verification application. A test certificate that may be stored in a data storage associated with a data processing system is presented to an originator of the secure data communication. The test certificate includes an identity, and the identity identifies an entity other than the intended party to the secure data communication as being the holder of the test certificate. A determination is made whether the originator responds to continue the secure data communication when presented with the test certificate. If the originator responds to continue the secure data communication, a report is made that the originator does not perform a verification of the identity from the test certificate.
