Hi,

Thanks for the info, what I don’t get is how does my browser can get it? How does it encrypt the data? It will use the public key to decrypt it, and the server should send it the key to decrypt the session, no?

 

Thanks,

Asaf.

Hi,

 

yes, you need private server key. You have to be server administrator to get it somewhere from the server.

You can not get it if you are only the client.

Hi,

 

I understand that I need the Private key of the server in order to decrypt the data in SSL, am I right? If so, I need to get my hands on it…

How it is obtained? (in Windows) if I use the explorer to view the certificate of the server, and then ask – Copy to file, I can save it with DER encoded binary X.509 (.CER), and then I can use OpenSSL to convert it to PEM right? But in this way I get the Public key of the server, no?

Could some one please explain to me if I need the public\private key of the server and also how do I get it?

 

Thanks in advance,

Asaf.
