[pubcookie-users] How many SSL Certificates needed?

[Jim Fox]

The login server needs just one certificate.

Each webserver domain will also have a certificate, but that's
just a normal web requirement.  Each keyclient can use its
webserver's certificate for authentication to the keyserver.

Or, must each individual Application Server must have its own SSL certificate? I take it then that in order to verify cookie information, the communication must be SSL even for application server communication?
