Hello,

What is the difference between a certificate fingerprint (NSS computes)
and a certificate thumbprint (IE display this in its Certificate
Wizard)?
I initially thought it would be same thing but different name. But after
checking values for my certificate using NSS/IE/COmmunicator, I'm not
sure anymore.

Also one really weird thing with NSS/Communicator:
the certificate fingerprint displayed by NSS' certutil is not the same
as the fingerprint shown in Netscape Communicator!!! What's up with
that?

Finally I tried computing my own certificate fingerprint using Sun's
MessageDigest class. I computed the digest using the bytes from the DER
encoded cert. AND I get yet another value!! Help anybody?
