    Hello.

    I have a college assignment to do which deals with the installation of
    certificates on 2 web browsers, namely Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla
    1.7. I have started gathering information and found that there are at
    least two main ways in which this can be done:

       * the user downloads a certificate file as an HTTP resource, which
    causes the browser to launch its own certificate installation process;
       * the certificate provider includes script code on their website
    which does the installation behind the scenes, using each browser's API.

    My assignment requires me to analyse the different possibilities and
    also to describe how a certificate installation client script would
    work. Could anyone provide some tips or resources where I could learn
    and find more details about this process?

    Thank you,
