Installation
root # emerge dev-libs/openssl
Usage
ssl uses several certificates with differing coverage, and use cases.
Self Signed Certificates
Free: Self signed certificates are free, self made, quick, easy to setup, and insecure. They are great for lab experiments, and testing out new technologies that you're not familiar with.
Single Domain Certificates
Generally $10/yr: Single domain certificates are probably the cheapest ssl certificate you will find on the web. This certificate does not cover subdomains.
Unified Communications Certificate
Generally $300/yr This certificate is meant for small businesses. This type of certificate will generally cover 20-30 domains, sites, or subdomains.
Wildcard Certificates
Generally $300/yr Wildcard certificates are expensive, however they cover every subdomain name you add.
Other Misc Certs
- domain validated SSL Certificates
- organization validated SSL Certificates
- Extended Validation SSL Certificates
