Hi all, I am using a self signed certificate as a CA certificate. My entity certificate is signed by this self signed CA. in my test programs
But another programmer who is doing client part is saying I need to include keyUsage field in my self signed certifcate refering to RFC 3280 ( section 4.2.1.3 Key Usage) " This extension MUST appear in certificates that contain public keys that are used to validate digital signatures on other public key certificates or CRLs. " But I heard self signed certificates should not have keyUsage field. I want to know the limitation of self signed certicate.. Thanks in advance. -- with regards Subramanaim Engineer Software SCM Microsytems (INDIA) Pvt.
