In your code you can use:-

bool IsUsingSSL;
IsUsingSSL = Request.IsSecureConnection;

This will be true if running under SSL.

Once a web cert is associated with a site, it doesn't need to be installed
into the clients machines, it simply needs to descend from a valid
certification authority root cert. The fact you have requested a cert and
installed it via that request associates it with your site. In the browser,
you can click on the padlock and verify its using your requested
certificate.
