That's not exactly correct. While it is true that the certificate and
certificate chain is sent to the client from the SSL server, that does
not alleviate the need to send your certificate to the other side -
best done using a offline channel, for example by using a courier.
This is necessary to mitigate man in the middle attacks. Anyone can
create digital certificates with any value - the only thing that makes
some signatures worth more than others is that they're recognized as a
"trusted root" - i.E. that the client recognizes a signature as being
proper.
Private PKI infrastructure or self signed certificates are just as
secure if you transport your CA certificate using a secure channel to
your client. If the client is not in possession of your CA certificate
using a secure channel, he has no chance to verify that the host he
connected to actually IS you.
