The ssl(8) manpage is the only manpage that uses the term "Certifying Authority" instead of "Certificate Authority"; the other manpages such as openssl(1), pkg_create(1), ikectl(8), isakmpd(8), and starttls(8), along with most literature, use "Certificate Authority."
This diff changes that term on the ssl(8) manpage to make it consistent with the rest of the manpages.
