How to SSL your site?

Post by myleow »

All i know about SSL is that i need to get a Certificate and then download ApacheSSL, OpenSSL or whateverSSL.

What else am i suppose to do to make my site secure?

What is the performance decrease with an SSL enabled site?

transfers take time to encode and decode, so expect more time spent for viewing and stuff..

SSL just encrypts and decrypts the data as its passed. Remember though, there is alot more security issues related to web products which have to be looked at such as XSS, SQL injection etc...
