Thank you for the quick response. This isn't quite what I was getting at, though. I guess my question really should be: I have a certificate that says its "Signature Algorithm" is "rsaEncryption" (not, for instance, "sha1WithRSAEncryption"). What does this mean? (I'm using the openssl x509 utility to examine this, but firefox comes to the same conclusion when it encounters the certificate.)
Thanks,
