Just a quick question
say I wish to setup an SSL link between a client and a server - but I just want to
perform digital signing from the client to the server,
are these two functions (i.e. the setting up of the SSL tunnel, and the signing
mechanism) considered totally separate -i.e. is the tunnel setup completely separately
and using different key/certificate systems than the digital signing keys and certs?
What I am considering is to use a phone to link to an SSL enabled server - will the
phone download the cert of just a hashed algorithm from the server. The Netscape site
is next to useless - which is strange since they have developed the protocol.
Does anyone know a useful place to find such information on Symmetric SSL etc.
Any ideas ???
