What are p7c p7b pkcs7 pem BER DER?

2000-05-01 Thread LI, Raymond C F
Hello, When I was trying to export a certificate from IE, it states a file extension of p7b. If this is a PKCS7 format certificate, what 's the difference between p7b and p7c? What is BER? I just know DER is Distinguished Encode Rules. In Openssl, I could (in many case) choose bet

OpenSSL so far is patent free and probably will remain generally so unless some hotshot chooses to try to patent something which has already been done - but they don't know about. This has happened - I have examples. RSA's stuff is patented in the US only and it expires as you say in Sept. Thus

OK, so how does this differ from a "man-in-the-middle" attack? Since there are two SSL sessions, there must be two session encryption keys and the proxy must be decrypting and re-encrypting everything it sees. If I'm a client, shouldn't I reject such a connection? -Original Message- Fro
