Digtial Signatures

[Wilfred (Bill) Drew Jr.]

I am starting to get questions from people on our campus on using
digital signatures.  We have been expanding our campus network giving
more faculty and staff direct access to the Web and to the Internet. 
Many of them have installed Netscape 3.01 and have gotten digital
signature certificates from Verisign.  I want to know and they want to
know , how in the world do we use the digital signature?  Do I simply
put in the Verisign Certificate Serial number in my e-mail signature
block?  It really doesn't make much sense yet.  The information on
Verisign's website is of no help at all.
