Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol designed to enable applications to transmit information back and forth securely. Applications that use the Secure Sockets Layer protocol inherently know how to give and receive encryption keys with other applications, as well as how to encrypt and decrypt data sent between the two.
Some applications that are configured to run SSL include web browsers like Internet Explorer and FireFox, email programs like Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and SFTP (secure file transfer protocol) programs. These applications are automatically able to receive SSL connections.
To establish a secure SSL connection, however, your application must first have an encryption key assigned to it by a Certification Authority (CA) in the form of a certificate. Once it has a unique key of its own, you can establish a secure connection using the SSL protocol.
