SSL(3)                               User Contributed Perl Documentation                              SSL(3)



NAME
       IO::Socket::SSL -- Nearly transparent SSL encapsulation for IO::Socket::INET.

SYNOPSIS
               use strict;
               use IO::Socket::SSL;

               my $client = IO::Socket::SSL->new("www.example.com:https")
                       || warn "I encountered a problem: ".IO::Socket::SSL::errstr();
               $client->verify_hostname( 'www.example.com','http' )
                       || die "hostname verification failed";

               print $client "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n";
               print <$client>;

DESCRIPTION
       This module is a true drop-in replacement for IO::Socket::INET that uses SSL to encrypt data before
       it is transferred to a remote server or client.    IO::Socket::SSL supports all the extra features
       that one needs to write a full-featured SSL client or server application: multiple SSL contexts,
       cipher selection, certificate verification, and SSL version selection. As an extra bonus, it works
       perfectly with mod_perl.

       If you have never used SSL before, you should read the appendix labelled 'Using SSL' before
       attempting to use this module.

       If you have used this module before, read on, as versions 0.93 and above have several changes from
       the previous IO::Socket::SSL versions (especially see the note about return values).

       If you are using non-blocking sockets read on, as version 0.98 added better support for non-blocking.

       If you are trying to use it with threads see the BUGS section.

METHODS
       IO::Socket::SSL inherits its methods from IO::Socket::INET, overriding them as necessary.  If there
       is an SSL error, the method or operation will return an empty list (false in all contexts).      The
       methods that have changed from the perspective of the user are re-documented here:

       new(...)
           Creates a new IO::Socket::SSL object.  You may use all the friendly options that came bundled
           with IO::Socket::INET, plus (optionally) the ones that follow:

           SSL_version
             Sets the version of the SSL protocol used to transmit data.  The default is SSLv2/3, which
             auto-negotiates between SSLv2 and SSLv3.     You may specify 'SSLv2', 'SSLv3', or 'TLSv1'
             (case-insensitive) if you do not want this behavior.

           SSL_cipher_list
             If this option is set the cipher list for the connection will be set to the given value, e.g.
             something like 'ALL:!LOW:!EXP:!ADH'. Look into the OpenSSL documentation
             (<http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_STRINGS>) for more details.  If this
             option is not used the openssl builtin default is used which is suitable for most cases.

           SSL_use_cert
             If this is set, it forces IO::Socket::SSL to use a certificate and key, even if you are setting
             up an SSL client.  If this is set to 0 (the default), then you will only need a certificate and
             key if you are setting up a server.

             SSL_use_cert will implicitly be set if SSL_server is set.  For convinience it is also set if it
             was not given but a cert was given for use (SSL_cert_file or similar).

           SSL_server
             Use this, if the socket should be used as a server.  If this is not explicitly set it is
             assumed, if Listen with given when creating the socket.

           SSL_key_file
             If your RSA private key is not in default place (certs/server-key.pem for servers,
             certs/client-key.pem for clients), then this is the option that you would use to specify a
             different location.  Keys should be PEM formatted, and if they are encrypted, you will be
             prompted to enter a password before the socket is formed (unless you specified the
             SSL_passwd_cb option).

           SSL_key
             This is an EVP_PKEY* and can be used instead of SSL_key_file.  Useful if you don't have your
             key in a file but create it dynamically or get it from a string (see openssl
             PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey etc for getting a EVP_PKEY* from a string).

           SSL_cert_file
             If your SSL certificate is not in the default place (certs/server-cert.pem for servers,
             certs/client-cert.pem for clients), then you should use this option to specify the location of
             your certificate.  Note that a key and certificate are only required for an SSL server, so you
             do not need to bother with these trifling options should you be setting up an unauthenticated
             client.

           SSL_cert
             This is an X509* or an array of X509*.  The first X509* is the internal representation of the
             certificate while the following ones are extra certificates. Useful if you create your
             certificate dynamically (like in a SSL intercepting proxy) or get it from a string (see openssl
             PEM_read_bio_X509 etc for getting a X509* from a string).

           SSL_dh_file
             If you want Diffie-Hellman key exchange you need to supply a suitable file here or use the
             SSL_dh parameter. See dhparam command in openssl for more information.

           SSL_dh
             Like SSL_dh_file, but instead of giving a file you use a preloaded or generated DH*.

           SSL_passwd_cb
             If your private key is encrypted, you might not want the default password prompt from
             Net::SSLeay.  This option takes a reference to a subroutine that should return the password
             required to decrypt your private key.

           SSL_ca_file
             If you want to verify that the peer certificate has been signed by a reputable certificate
             authority, then you should use this option to locate the file containing the certificate(s) of
             the reputable certificate authorities if it is not already in the file certs/my-ca.pem.  If you
             definitly want no SSL_ca_file used you should set it to undef.

           SSL_ca_path
             If you are unusually friendly with the OpenSSL documentation, you might have set yourself up a
             directory containing several trusted certificates as separate files as well as an index of the
             certificates.  If you want to use that directory for validation purposes, and that directory is
             not ca/, then use this option to point IO::Socket::SSL to the right place to look.  If you
             definitly want no SSL_ca_path used you should set it to undef.

           SSL_verify_mode
             This option sets the verification mode for the peer certificate.  The default (0x00) does no
             authentication.     You may combine 0x01 (verify peer), 0x02 (fail verification if no peer
             certificate exists; ignored for clients), and 0x04 (verify client once) to change the default.

             See OpenSSL man page for SSL_CTX_set_verify for more information.

           SSL_verify_callback
             If you want to verify certificates yourself, you can pass a sub reference along with this
             parameter to do so.  When the callback is called, it will be passed:

             1. a true/false value that indicates what OpenSSL thinks of the certificate,
             2. a C-style memory address of the certificate store,
             3. a string containing the certificate's issuer attributes and owner attributes, and
             4. a string containing any errors encountered (0 if no errors).
             5. a C-style memory address of the peer's own certificate (convertible to PEM form with
             Net::SSLeay::PEM_get_string_X5_9()).

             The function should return 1 or 0, depending on whether it thinks the certificate is valid or
             invalid.  The default is to let OpenSSL do all of the busy work.

             The callback will be called for each element in the certificate chain.

             See the OpenSSL documentation for SSL_CTX_set_verify for more information.

           SSL_verifycn_scheme
             Set the scheme used to automatically verify the hostname of the peer.  See the information
             about the verification schemes in verify_hostname.  The default is undef, e.g. to not
             automatically verify the hostname.

           SSL_verifycn_name
             Set the name which is used in verification of hostname. If SSL_verifycn_scheme is set and no
             SSL_verifycn_name is given it will try to use the PeerHost and PeerAddr settings and fail if no
             name caan be determined.

             Using PeerHost or PeerAddr works only if you create the connection directly with
             "IO::Socket::SSL->new", if an IO::Socket::INET object is upgraded with start_SSL the name has
             to be given in SSL_verifycn_name.

           SSL_check_crl
             If you want to verify that the peer certificate has not been revoked by the signing authority,
             set this value to true. OpenSSL will search for the CRL in your SSL_ca_path, or use the file
             specified by SSL_crl_file.  See the Net::SSLeay documentation for more details.  Note that this
             functionality appears to be broken with OpenSSL < v0.9.7b, so its use with lower versions will
             result in an error.

           SSL_crl_file
             If you want to specify the CRL file to be used, set this value to the pathname to be used.
             This must be used in addition to setting SSL_check_crl.

           SSL_reuse_ctx
             If you have already set the above options (SSL_version through SSL_check_crl; this does not
             include SSL_cipher_list yet) for a previous instance of IO::Socket::SSL, then you can reuse the
             SSL context of that instance by passing it as the value for the SSL_reuse_ctx parameter.  You
             may also create a new instance of the IO::Socket::SSL::SSL_Context class, using any context
             options that you desire without specifying connection options, and pass that here instead.

             If you use this option, all other context-related options that you pass in the same call to
             new() will be ignored unless the context supplied was invalid.  Note that, contrary to versions
             of IO::Socket::SSL below v0.90, a global SSL context will not be implicitly used unless you use
             the set_default_context() function.

           SSL_create_ctx_callback
             With this callback you can make individual settings to the context after it got created and the
             default setup was done.  The callback will be called with the CTX object from Net::SSLeay as
             the single argument.

             Example for limiting the server session cache size:

               SSL_create_ctx_callback => sub {
                   my $ctx = shift;
                       Net::SSLeay::CTX_sess_set_cache_size($ctx,128);
               }

           SSL_session_cache_size
             If you make repeated connections to the same host/port and the SSL renegotiation time is an
             issue, you can turn on client-side session caching with this option by specifying a positive
             cache size.  For successive connections, pass the SSL_reuse_ctx option to the new() calls (or
             use set_default_context()) to make use of the cached sessions.  The session cache size refers
             to the number of unique host/port pairs that can be stored at one time; the oldest sessions in
             the cache will be removed if new ones are added.

           SSL_session_cache
             Specifies session cache object which should be used instead of creating a new.  Overrules
             SSL_session_cache_size.  This option is useful if you want to reuse the cache, but not the rest
             of the context.

             A session cache object can be created using "IO::Socket::SSL::Session_Cache->new( cachesize )".

             Use set_default_session_cache() to set a global cache object.

           SSL_error_trap
             When using the accept() or connect() methods, it may be the case that the actual socket
             connection works but the SSL negotiation fails, as in the case of an HTTP client connecting to
             an HTTPS server.  Passing a subroutine ref attached to this parameter allows you to gain
             control of the orphaned socket instead of having it be closed forcibly.  The subroutine, if
             called, will be passed two parameters: a reference to the socket on which the SSL negotiation
             failed and and the full text of the error message.

       close(...)
           There are a number of nasty traps that lie in wait if you are not careful about using close().
           The first of these will bite you if you have been using shutdown() on your sockets.  Since the
           SSL protocol mandates that a SSL "close notify" message be sent before the socket is closed, a
           shutdown() that closes the socket's write channel will cause the close() call to hang.  For a
           similar reason, if you try to close a copy of a socket (as in a forking server) you will affect
           the original socket as well.  To get around these problems, call close with an object-oriented
           syntax (e.g. $socket->close(SSL_no_shutdown => 1)) and one or more of the following parameters:

           SSL_no_shutdown
             If set to a true value, this option will make close() not use the SSL_shutdown() call on the
             socket in question so that the close operation can complete without problems if you have used
             shutdown() or are working on a copy of a socket.

           SSL_fast_shutdown
             If set to true only a unidirectional shutdown will be done, e.g. only the close_notify (see
             SSL_shutdown(3)) will be called. Otherwise a bidrectional shutdown will be done. If used within
             close() it defaults to true, if used within stop_SSL() it defaults to false.

           SSL_ctx_free
             If you want to make sure that the SSL context of the socket is destroyed when you close it, set
             this option to a true value.

       peek(...)
           This function has exactly the same syntax as sysread(), and performs nearly the same task
           (reading data from the socket) but will not advance the read position so that successive calls to
           peek() with the same arguments will return the same results.  This function requires OpenSSL
           0.9.6a or later to work.

       pending()
           This function will let you know how many bytes of data are immediately ready for reading from the
           socket.  This is especially handy if you are doing reads on a blocking socket or just want to
           know if new data has been sent over the socket.

       get_cipher()
           Returns the string form of the cipher that the IO::Socket::SSL object is using.

       dump_peer_certificate()
           Returns a parsable string with select fields from the peer SSL certificate.      This method
           directly returns the result of the dump_peer_certificate() method of Net::SSLeay.

       peer_certificate($field)
           If a peer certificate exists, this function can retrieve values from it.  If no field is given
           the internal representation of certificate from Net::SSLeay is returned.  The following fields
           can be queried:

           authority (alias issuer)
                   The certificate authority which signed the certificate.

           owner (alias subject)
                   The owner of the certificate.

           commonName (alias cn) - only for Net::SSLeay version >=1.30
                   The common name, usually the server name for SSL certificates.

           subjectAltNames - only for Net::SSLeay version >=1.33
                   Alternative names for the subject, usually different names for the same server, like
                   example.org, example.com, *.example.com.

                   It returns a list of (typ,value) with typ GEN_DNS, GEN_IPADD etc (these constants are
                   exported from IO::Socket::SSL).  See Net::SSLeay::X509_get_subjectAltNames.

       verify_hostname($hostname,$scheme)
           This verifies the given hostname against the peer certificate using the given scheme. Hostname is
           usually what you specify within the PeerAddr.

           Verification of hostname against a certificate is different between various applications and
           RFCs. Some scheme allow wildcards for hostnames, some only in subjectAltNames, and even their
           different wildcard schemes are possible.

           To ease the verification the following schemes are predefined:

           ldap (rfc4513), pop3,imap,acap (rfc2995), nntp (rfc4642)
                   Simple wildcards in subjectAltNames are possible, e.g. *.example.org matches
                   www.example.org but not lala.www.example.org. If nothing from subjectAltNames match it
                   checks against the common name, but there are no wildcards allowed.

           http (rfc2818), alias is www
                   Extended wildcards in subjectAltNames and common name are possible, e.g.  *.example.org
                   or even www*.example.org. The common name will be only checked if no names are given in
                   subjectAltNames.

           smtp (rfc3207)
                   This RFC doesn't say much useful about the verification so it just assumes that
                   subjectAltNames are possible, but no wildcards are possible anywhere.

           The scheme can be given either by specifying the name for one of the above predefined schemes, by
           using a callback (see below) or by using a hash which can have the following keys and values:

           check_cn:  0|'always'|'when_only'
                   Determines if the common name gets checked. If 'always' it will always be checked (like
                   in ldap), if 'when_only' it will only be checked if no names are given in subjectAltNames
                   (like in http), for any other values the common name will not be checked.

           wildcards_in_alt: 0|'leftmost'|'anywhere'
                   Determines if and where wildcards in subjectAltNames are possible. If 'leftmost' only
                   cases like *.example.org will be possible (like in ldap), for 'anywhere' www*.example.org
                   is possible too (like http), dangerous things like but www.*.org or even '*' will not be
                   allowed.

           wildcards_in_cn: 0|'leftmost'|'anywhere'
                   Similar to wildcards_in_alt, but checks the common name. There is no predefined scheme
                   which allows wildcards in common names.

           If you give a subroutine for verification it will be called with the arguments
           ($hostname,$commonName,@subjectAltNames), where hostname is the name given for verification,
           commonName is the result from peer_certificate('cn') and subjectAltNames is the result from
           peer_certificate('subjectAltNames').

       errstr()
           Returns the last error (in string form) that occurred. If you do not have a real object to
           perform this method on, call IO::Socket::SSL::errstr() instead.

           For read and write errors on non-blocking sockets, this method may include the string "SSL wants
           a read first!" or "SSL wants a write first!" meaning that the other side is expecting to read
           from or write to the socket and wants to be satisfied before you get to do anything. But with
           version 0.98 you are better comparing the global exported variable $SSL_ERROR against the
           exported symbols SSL_WANT_READ and SSL_WANT_WRITE.

       opened()
           This returns false if the socket could not be opened, 1 if the socket could be opened and the SSL
           handshake was successful done and -1 if the underlying IO::Handle is open, but the SSL handshake
           failed.

       IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL($socket, ... )
           This will convert a glob reference or a socket that you provide to an IO::Socket::SSL object.
           You may also pass parameters to specify context or connection options as with a call to new().
           If you are using this function on an accept()ed socket, you must set the parameter "SSL_server"
           to 1, i.e. IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL($socket, SSL_server => 1).  If you have a class that
           inherits from IO::Socket::SSL and you want the $socket to be blessed into your own class instead,
           use MyClass->start_SSL($socket) to achieve the desired effect.

           Note that if start_SSL() fails in SSL negotiation, $socket will remain blessed in its original
           class.      For non-blocking sockets you better just upgrade the socket to IO::Socket::SSL and
           call accept_SSL or connect_SSL and the upgraded object. To just upgrade the socket set
           SSL_startHandshake explicitly to 0. If you call start_SSL w/o this parameter it will revert to
           blocking behavior for accept_SSL and connect_SSL.

           If given the parameter "Timeout" it will stop if after the timeout no SSL connection was
           established. This parameter is only used for blocking sockets, if it is not given the default
           Timeout from the underlying IO::Socket will be used.

       stop_SSL(...)
           This is the opposite of start_SSL(), e.g. it will shutdown the SSL connection and return to the
           class before start_SSL(). It gets the same arguments as close(), in fact close() calls stop_SSL()
           (but without downgrading the class).

           Will return true if it suceeded and undef if failed. This might be the case for non-blocking
           sockets. In this case $! is set to EAGAIN and the ssl error to SSL_WANT_READ or SSL_WANT_WRITE.
           In this case the call should be retried again with the same arguments once the socket is ready is
           until it succeeds.

       IO::Socket::SSL->new_from_fd($fd, ...)
           This will convert a socket identified via a file descriptor into an SSL socket.  Note that the
           argument list does not include a "MODE" argument; if you supply one, it will be thoughtfully
           ignored (for compatibility with IO::Socket::INET).  Instead, a mode of '+<' is assumed, and the
           file descriptor passed must be able to handle such I/O because the initial SSL handshake requires
           bidirectional communication.

       IO::Socket::SSL::set_default_context(...)
           You may use this to make IO::Socket::SSL automatically re-use a given context (unless
           specifically overridden in a call to new()).  It accepts one argument, which should be either an
           IO::Socket::SSL object or an IO::Socket::SSL::SSL_Context object.   See the SSL_reuse_ctx option
           of new() for more details.      Note that this sets the default context globally, so use with
           caution (esp. in mod_perl scripts).

       IO::Socket::SSL::set_default_session_cache(...)
           You may use this to make IO::Socket::SSL automatically re-use a given session cache (unless
           specifically overridden in a call to new()).  It accepts one argument, which should be an
           IO::Socket::SSL::Session_Cache object or similar (e.g something which implements get_session and
           add_session like IO::Socket::SSL::Session_Cache does).  See the SSL_session_cache option of new()
           for more details.   Note that this sets the default cache globally, so use with caution.

       IO::Socket::SSL::set_ctx_defaults(%args)
           With this function one can set defaults for all SSL_* parameter used for creation of the context,
           like the SSL_verify* parameter.

           mode - set default SSL_verify_mode
           callback - set default SSL_verify_callback
           scheme - set default SSL_verifycn_scheme
           name - set default SSL_verifycn_name
                   If not given and scheme is hash reference with key callback it will be set to 'unknown'

       The following methods are unsupported (not to mention futile!) and IO::Socket::SSL will emit a large
       CROAK() if you are silly enough to use them:

       truncate
       stat
       ungetc
       setbuf
       setvbuf
       fdopen
       send/recv
           Note that send() and recv() cannot be reliably trapped by a tied filehandle (such as that used by
           IO::Socket::SSL) and so may send unencrypted data over the socket.   Object-oriented calls to
           these functions will fail, telling you to use the print/printf/syswrite and read/sysread families
           instead.

IPv6
       Support for IPv6 with IO::Socket::SSL is expected to work and basic testing is done.  If
       IO::Socket::INET6 is available it will automatically use it instead of IO::Socket::INET4.

       Please be aware of the associated problems: If you give a name as a host and the host resolves to
       both IPv6 and IPv4 it will try IPv6 first and if there is no IPv6 connectivity it will fail.

       To avoid these problems you can either force IPv4 by specifying and AF_INET as the Domain (this is
       per socket) or load IO::Socket::SSL with the option 'inet4' (This is a global setting, e.g. affects
       all IO::Socket::SSL objects in the program).

RETURN VALUES
       A few changes have gone into IO::Socket::SSL v0.93 and later with respect to return values. The
       behavior on success remains unchanged, but for all functions, the return value on error is now an
       empty list.     Therefore, the return value will be false in all contexts, but those who have been
       using the return values as arguments to subroutines (like "mysub(IO::Socket::SSL(...)-"new, ...)>)
       may run into problems.  The moral of the story: always check the return values of these functions
       before using them in any way that you consider meaningful.

DEBUGGING
       If you are having problems using IO::Socket::SSL despite the fact that can recite backwards the
       section of this documentation labelled 'Using SSL', you should try enabling debugging. To specify the
       debug level, pass 'debug#' (where # is a number from 0 to 3) to IO::Socket::SSL when calling it.  The
       debug level will also be propagated to Net::SSLeay::trace, see also Net::SSLeay:

       use IO::Socket::SSL qw(debug0);
           No debugging (default).

       use IO::Socket::SSL qw(debug1);
           Print out errors from IO::Socket::SSL and ciphers from Net::SSLeay.

       use IO::Socket::SSL qw(debug2);
           Print also information about call flow from IO::Socket::SSL and progress information from
           Net::SSLeay.

       use IO::Socket::SSL qw(debug3);
           Print also some data dumps from IO::Socket::SSL and from Net::SSLeay.

EXAMPLES
       See the 'example' directory.

BUGS
       IO::Socket::SSL is not threadsafe.  This is because IO::Socket::SSL is based on Net::SSLeay which
       uses a global object to access some of the API of openssl and is therefore not threadsafe.  It might
       probably work if you don't use SSL_verify_callback and SSL_password_cb.

       IO::Socket::SSL does not work together with Storable::fd_retrieve/fd_store.  See BUGS file for more
       information and how to work around the problem.

       Non-blocking and timeouts (which are based on non-blocking) are not supported on Win32, because the
       underlying IO::Socket::INET does not support non-blocking on this platform.

       If you have a server and it looks like you have a memory leak you might check the size of your
       session cache. Default for Net::SSLeay seems to be 20480, see the example for SSL_create_ctx_callback
       for how to limit it.

LIMITATIONS
       IO::Socket::SSL uses Net::SSLeay as the shiny interface to OpenSSL, which is the shiny interface to
       the ugliness of SSL.    As a result, you will need both Net::SSLeay and OpenSSL on your computer
       before using this module.

       If you have Scalar::Util (standard with Perl 5.8.0 and above) or WeakRef, IO::Socket::SSL sockets
       will auto-close when they go out of scope, just like IO::Socket::INET sockets.     If you do not have
       one of these modules, then IO::Socket::SSL sockets will stay open until the program ends or you
       explicitly close them.    This is due to the fact that a circular reference is required to make
       IO::Socket::SSL sockets act simultaneously like objects and glob references.

DEPRECATIONS
       The following functions are deprecated and are only retained for compatibility:

       context_init()
         use the SSL_reuse_ctx option if you want to re-use a context

       socketToSSL() and socket_to_SSL()
         use IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL() instead

       kill_socket()
         use close() instead

       get_peer_certificate()
         use the peer_certificate() function instead.  Used to return X509_Certificate with methods
         subject_name and issuer_name.  Now simply returns $self which has these methods (although
         depreceated).

       issuer_name()
         use peer_certificate( 'issuer' ) instead

       subject_name()
         use peer_certificate( 'subject' ) instead

       The following classes have been removed:

       SSL_SSL
         (not that you should have been directly accessing this anyway):

       X509_Certificate
         (but get_peer_certificate() will still Do The Right Thing)

Appendix: Using SSL
       If you are unfamiliar with the way OpenSSL works, good references may be found in both the book
       "Network Security with OpenSSL" (Oreilly & Assoc.) and the web site
       http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SSL-Certificates-HOWTO/ <http://www .tldp.org/HOWTO/SSL-сертификаты -
       ПРАКТИЧЕСКОЕ РУКОВОДСТВО />.  Read on for a quick overview.

   The Long of It (Detail)
       The usual reason for using SSL is to keep your data safe.  This means that not only do you have to
       encrypt the data while it is being transported over a network, but you also have to make sure that
       the right person gets the data.    To accomplish this with SSL, you have to use certificates.  A
       certificate closely resembles a Government-issued ID (at least in places where you can trust
       them).    The ID contains some sort of identifying information such as a name and address, and is
       usually stamped with a seal of Government Approval.   Theoretically, this means that you may trust
       the information on the card and do business with the owner of the card.  The same ideas apply to SSL
       certificates, which have some identifying information and are "stamped" [most people refer to this as
       signing instead] by someone (a Certificate Authority) who you trust will adequately verify the
       identifying information.  In this case, because of some clever number theory, it is extremely
       difficult to falsify the stamping process.   Another useful consequence of number theory is that the
       certificate is linked to the encryption process, so you may encrypt data (using information on the
       certificate) that only the certificate owner can decrypt.

       What does this mean for you?  It means that at least one person in the party has to have an ID to get
       drinks :-).  Seriously, it means that one of the people communicating has to have a certificate to
       ensure that your data is safe.   For client/server interactions, the server must always have a
       certificate.     If the server wants to verify that the client is safe, then the client must also
       have a personal certificate.  To verify that a certificate is safe, one compares the stamped "seal"
       [commonly called an encrypted digest/hash/signature] on the certificate with the official "seal" of
       the Certificate Authority to make sure that they are the same.    To do this, you will need the
       [unfortunately named] certificate of the Certificate Authority.  With all these in hand, you can set
       up a SSL connection and be reasonably confident that no-one is reading your data.

   The Short of It (Summary)
       For servers, you will need to generate a cryptographic private key and a certificate request.  You
       will need to send the certificate request to a Certificate Authority to get a real certificate back,
       after which you can start serving people. For clients, you will not need anything unless the server
       wants validation, in which case you will also need a private key and a real certificate.    For more
       information about how to get these, see <http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC24>.
