SSL Overview

Prerequisites

rsaref

openssl

mod_ssl

Apache HTTP

Certificates

rsaref

Note:
In the Unisted States (USA) it's not allowed to (re-)export mod_ssl or OpenSSL and second it's not allowed to use Apache+mod_ssl+OpenSSL (because of patent issues on the RSA and RC4 algorithms) unless OpenSSL is built with RSA DSI's RSAref package and used for non-commercial purposes only. - mod_ssl 2.3, User Manual
