Re: SSL info

This is a good start: 'What is SSL' in MSDN:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/TechRef/ed5ae700-e05e-45ef-b536-45795dbb99a2.mspx

Wikipedia has an entry on SSL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer

If you can get your hands on 'SSL and TLS' by Eric Rescorla is a very good
book on this subject.
