First of all, sorry, but I'm just getting started with certificate-based
security, and I may not understand all the concepts yet. Here's my
question: can one obtain a root certificate from a commercial authority like
Verisign and then self-issue certificates that would point back to the
commercial cert in the certification chain? Is such a hybrid possible?
This is solely for SSL purposes.
