Hello, thank you. I'm wondering: Where can I go to get answers to basic questions about SSL? I've been learning about SSL while using OpenSSL to make SSL certificates for work, and I have a lot of questions.
For example, one of my questions is: "Why are certificates called certificate *requests*?" I would think that a request for a certificate would be a message on the order of [a machine encoded:] "Hello would you please send me your certificate?", or "Hello, would you please send me your certificate for example.net?" Instead, I find that a certificate request (crt) is an actual certificate file? I'm having difficulty finding in my research, answers to basic questions like this. What's a good forum on the Internet for finding answers to more fundamental SSL questions like this? Thank you, Lion Kimbro
