Well, the whole point of the 'certificate' is to guarantee that you are whoever you claim to be (actually, not you but your system). So a self- signed certificate, is fine for encryption, it will work as well as a priced Verisign or Thawte certificate, but there is no guarantee. While a certificate given from Verisign or Thawte should mean that the owner took his time to request it to a third-party that is supposed to be trustworthy. Is the same as asking for an ID proof and being shown a passport or a letter with your name and address on. Davide -- If only more employers realized that people join companies, but leave bosses.
