Merchants, document transfers, and many other business problems exist for which SSL solves the security side. In this chapter, we learned that the browser and server are in control (mainly the browser) of establishing and setting up an SSL session. We reviewed how the certificates are assigned to you and lastly, how to activate SSL in your Joomla! site. We wrapped up by considering some ways to avoid slowing down your site while using SSL.
