Basically, certificate is a public key (KEY 1) signed by another key (KEY 2). If there exist a certificate for the second key (KEY 2) signed by a third key (KEY 3) then we have a "certificates chain": cert(KEY 1) <-- cert(KEY 2) <-- cert(KEY 3) wher "A <-- B" means "A is signed by B". Of

Kocher did work on the SSL v3.0 protocol, which corrects some errors in the previous version. At the risk of repeating myself, timing or power analysis attacks are not mounted against SSL, but against the public key operations. Given the nature of their place in the protocol, and that -- even i
