This document introduces the theory and practice of creating an SSL secured website. It begins with an in depth discussion of the need for security, and describes the theory that underlies SSL authentication and encryption. It makes judgments on best practice and the surrounding security context. It then describes in detail how to configure a Zeus web server for SSL transactions. This 'configuration' section is largely self contained and can be used as a configuration reference without substantial reference to the previous chapters. The document is intended for systems integrators and security architects working with Zeus Web Server products and related technologies.
