Hi there,
I'm new on SSL and I have one question for you about it on Android.
So, sorry me if I say something that isn't correct :)

I have to start a communication with a REST Web Service. There are two
steps I should clarify to myself... the second one is the most
important for my target.

1) I must be sure I'm starting to communicate with the WS. So I need
its own certificate (it is on the server side). I know how to do that
and the troubles connected to a CA or a self-signed certificate, after
reading this article: 
http://blog.antoine.li/index.php/2010/10/android-trusting-ssl-certificates/

I believe there is no problem to do that.


2) step 2 here... Now I have also the opposite problem. The WS must to
be sure to communicate with a mobile device (me) and not with other
one. To do that I need a certificate on the device embedded in the
app, in order to allow the WS to know who I am and then we can starts
the communication.

In other words... I need to know with who I'm speaking and the same is
for the WS. This is my problem. Usually only the first step is the
important one, in my case the second one is the most important.

I hope to be clear. If you have some questions o doubts, please ask
me.

Thanks to all in advance.

Paolo
