RSA will give out certificates to individuals; Apple includes a coupon for a
free one with their MacOS 7.5 (and 7 Pro) release. There's a program for the
Mac (RIPEM Mac) that will convert the keys returned into RIPEM usable
PEM-format keys. Isn't that what SSL uses?
The only question is what CAs are supported by the browser.... I think the
Apple keys are under RSA's Unaffiliated User CA...
If there's interest, I'll look further into this.
