Hello.

I would like to seprate my client signing CA and server signing CA. I would also like them to force their purpose, so if someone gets a hold of my client signing CA, they can't use it to sign server certificates and thus cannot claim they are a server on which clients can trust.

Is this possible? The standard Windows-included public CA certificates seem to indicate this is possible (for example VeriSign's CAs include following purposes "Proves your identity to remote computer" and "Ensures the identity of a remote computer". I assume they refer client and server certificates).
