Implementation Using Apache + Mod_ssl
Apache can use a certificate server to get certificates used to provide secure communications with the SSL/TLS protocol.
The server based implementation of the Apache HTTP Server is "mod_ssl", a derivation of Apache-SSL based on the functionality of OpenSSL. Mod_ssl features support for SSLv2, SSLv3, and TLSv1, with X.509 client/server based authentication and certificate revocation. This is accomplished via three packages: the mod_ssl package, an extended API, and an SSL/TLS implementation toolkit such as OpenSSL.
