More demos: You can create your own cert with TinySSL, a lightweight ( < 100Kbyte) server for Wintel, http://www.ritlabs.com/tinyweb/tinyssl.html and amuse your friends if they bother to read the info there. Using trademarks (RSA, Verisign, etc.) in the fields would escape most. Or, as the TinySSL docs advise, you can get a free cert from Thawte --which *in fact* certifies only that you can receive email at the address you gave them. As others have written, great for enabling SSL's confidentiality, nothing else. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
