-public key.  The issuer's statement is signed with the issuer's

-the issuer's statement by finding the issuer's public key, decrypting
-the statement with it, and comparing it to the other information in

+If you are going to create a server that provides SSL-encrypted connection
+services, you will need to acquire a certificate for that service.  There are
+many ways of acquiring appropriate certificates, such as buying one from a
+certification authority.  Another common practice is to generate a self-signed
+certificate.  The simplest way to do this is with the OpenSSL package, using
+something like the following::
 
   % openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout cert.pem
