Title

I'm not clear on the difference between a CA key and a certificate. Isn't a CA key simply a certificate? Let me try and clarify with an example. I have a client and a server. I'm only trying to validate my connection to my server and not trying to establish trust to others so I don't care about signing with a real CA. Option 1: Generate a self-signed CA ( ssCA ) and use that to sign a certificate ( C ). I then install ssCA into the root keystore on my client and setup my server to use certificate C . Option 2: Generate a self-signed certificate ( SSC ). Install SSC into the root keystore on my client. Setup my server to use certificate SSC . The second option seems like a much simpler process. Should that still work?
