Hi gang, Was just thinking of a cheap solution for sites that don't require absolute security. A SSL cert cost about $150 a year. Sites like facebook could use this...
Sites (like mine) that don't want to pay a certificate authority can use a self-signed cert. Even Red Hat does for some of their stuff (IE I believe their bugzilla server) Firefox scares its users when they encounter a website with self signed certificate. If your website users aren't worried about the warning Firefox throws at them, self signed cert works well.
