This whole topic has furthered my secret theory that Slashdot sucks with regard to screening of submissions. I am beginning to think they use a pseudo-random number generator to pick the winners. (What an egregious misuse of the word "winners.")

Not only is this a horribly redundant topic (as evidenced in the post to which I am responding), but the answer is readily available to anyone with access to Google. I've noticed that a sizable number of the responses to this question (other than unsolicited explanations of how CA trust works, and the atrociously redundant descriptions of the value of self-signing) seem to be people recommending cheap or free SSL certificate providers. While this might not strictly address the original question, the fact remains that typing "free SSL certificates" into Google will get you basically the same answer.

Maybe the question should be rephrased as: "How can I use Google to find cheap SSL certs?"
