Server certificates

[Marvin Bellamy]

Getting one for cheap isn't the problem.  It's getting one for cheap 
from a certificate authority who's in the trust store of the application 
you want to use.  i.e. I can become a certificate authority myself and 
give you one for free, but browsers would bitch-slap you on the 
handshake.  What sort of an application are you designing?
