• Certificate Signing Request - this type of certificate can be processed by a Trusted
Certificate Authority.
Note: A self-signed certificate is inherently less secure than installing a certificate signed by a
trusted, third party Certificate Authority (CA). However, specifying a self-signed certificate is the
easiest way to start using SSL. A self-signed certificate is also the only option if your company
does not have a Server functioning as a Certificate Authority (Windows 2000 running Certificate
Services, for example), or does not wish to use a third party CA.
