could someone tell me what would happen to encrypted traffic if you have an expired certificate?? Does the traffic

Traffic is still encrypted, but the credibility of the server holding
the certificate can be questioned.  Users of the site would not as
easily know if their information is being subjected to a man in the
middle attack with another server housing a certificate.
