Re: NetScape's dependence upon RSA down for the count!
Yes, but the certificate that contains the public key of the server
is digital signed by the certificate authority (CA).
To create such a certificate requires the secret key of the CA.
The public key of the CA is contained in the client software, which
uses it to verify the validity of the server certificate.
