Hello Ben,

the digital signature (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography#Digital_signatures) is usually provided by companies like Verisign, Thawte, etc to verify that your server certificate is known and trusted for a certain www-domain. These 3rd party signed certificates are quite expensive. But you can also create self-signed certificates for free (again with a common Linux system). Take a look at the following wiki article:

http://www.radicalrabbit.de/blog/2014/08/16/raspberry-powered-video-streaming-ssl-encryption/

In the article provided above I explain how to create a self-signed pair of client- and server SSL certificates with OpenSSL. Furthermore the tutorial shows how to create a Certificate Authority for the certificates.

Have a lot of fun testing the tutorial!

Cheers
Alex
