Hi there,

This depends largely on the setup you're using. The short version is:

Get a certificate proofing your identity. You can buy one at www.verisign.com, or http://www.thawte.com/ or any other certificate dealer.

Next, you'll need to install this certificate in your Web server. How this is done, depends on your server. For Windows servers, browse the Knowledge Base here: http://search.microsoft.com/search/r...&c=0&s=1&swc=0
This will bring you to articles like: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;299875

For other setups, I suggest you search Google for the same set of terms.

Cheers,

Imar

I am not quite sure I understand your question(s). For example: "how can i use this to do secure exchange"

When you're using SSL, your connection / exchange *is* already secure. That's the whole idea about SSL; the browser and the server set up a secure connection when you specify that the connection should use SSL.

I suggest you pick up a book or do some Googling for this. This is a too broad topic, and too broad questions to answer in a forum.

Cheers,

Imar
