guys: we all know that a ca-signed certificate can provide authentication because the ca is trustable, by using ca-signed certificate, one is saying "i am somebady because the ca says so". but it seems that a self-signed certificate _cannot_ provide any authentication at all, because by using self-signed certificate, one is saying "i am somebody because i say so".
if my understanding is correct, then why self-signed certificate is still used? thanks. chong peng ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
