But then of course you can compare the two entirely in software; the fingerprint is pointless. The use case is not when a certificate changed, but when you get a new certificate and want to check, via another channel, manually (e.g. voice), whether you got the right one. There never are two lines aligned. There's A and B talking over the phone. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
