Cap'n Refsmmat Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Permanent certificates cost several hundred bucks to get from a certificate authority. Self-signed temporary ones are free. There's no difference in terms of security except you have no easy verification of if the certificate is actually from "us". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Capn's quite right: for example, VeriSign charge $400/year for an SSL certificate, which is something that we could rightly do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
