Yes. > To get a "real" SSL certificate, you probably need to buy one from a > reputable Certificate Authority. It should be noted that a "real" SSL Cert is no more (nor less) secure than a self-generated one. The "real" cert only means that somebody somewhere was paid money to do some sort of minimal background check and paid-off entity is "satisfied" that you are who you say you are. The browser message regarding an unsigned-cert in most browsers is wildly inaccurate and misleading. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
