[Nfb-web] Certificates

[E.J. Zufelt]

There are also CA signed certs that do not confirm identity, but still are properly signed, so as not to generate the error. These are typically far less expensive, but are not sufficient for all purposes.

Take a look at providers like http://www.rapidssl.com/

* I heve never used Rapid SSL, but it came up in a search result for cheap SSL certs.

For example Wells Fargo bank has a 3rd party certificate so that their customers are sure they are dealing with wells fargo online and not some black hat trying to steal their money.
