Take a look at RFC 1422. May give you some insite on
certificates.
thanks for the reference which i'm looking on right now.
First off, have you taken a look at
your browser settings for certificates? Take a look
at that
i configured my browser to detect such pbs because i do shop on the net and
i need to evaluate the credibility of any claimed site identity. sometimes,
there are sites telling us that all transactions with their server are secure
(over SSL 128 Bits); but a deep look shows that they still use revocated or
invalid certificates. how far can anyone trust these claims? because if i
didn't configure my browser in such a way i'll not get these informations and
then continue shopping and provide my credit card number,...
for e-mail security (PEM: discussed in depth in RFC 1422) i usually use PGP
and i've not experienced any pbs till now.
