Well, currently i am using certificates that don't have been signed by anyone
so they could be generated by anybody. Wouldn't that make them senseless?
The certificates i am using for client and server side are generated by openssl(1)
and simply exchanged when the client and server handshake.
Because neither of the two is signed by a CA, it would enable everybody
to create a certificate and masquerade as my server (or client), no?
