SSL Startup
Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2007 1:18 pm
When it comes to site security I must admit, I am not the best at it. I currently just make use of sessions with md5 encrypted passwords to log users in and out of my web site and to secure my web site.
I was thinking about getting into SSL encryption but not quite sure how to go about getting started with SSL and PHP.
I have read through verisign.com's information packets and pricing and things like that, but that much I understand. I am more looking for some examples or processes of using SSL in PHP. I have modssl installed on my server so I figure I am ready to go.
Do I need just one certificate to protect my site? How does this affect each one of my pages? How does this effect my login process? How I just install this thing, in the directories I want are protected?
Tips/Suggestions, some verification example code would be excellent.
