Remarks

Once you want to obtain real certificate, you must GenerateKey for yourself, and make new certificate request. Making request is very similar to generating new certificate - except certificate itself is not signed by some known certificate authority (or some other trusted certificate owner).

After new request is saved to disk, you should send it (or paste it) to appropriate form on your Certificate Authority (such as Verisign) and ask for valid certificate from them. Later on, you will Load such certificate using your generated key and you will able to use it for your programs.
