Obtaining Certificates Signed certificates are typically obtained from well-known CAs, such as VeriSign. This is done by submitting a certificate request for a CA, typically for a fee. The CA will sign the certificate request, producing a certificate/key combo: the certificate contains the identity of the owner and the public key, and the private key is available separately for use by the owner.
