There are many CA's out there, but they charge you too much to
issue a certificate. Verisign and Thawte to name a few. Last time i
checked it was approximately 15k for a certificate.
I read somewhere in the modssl site that you could just install a
self signed certificate in IE / Netscape that you distribute to the
students and faculty.
