Snag yourself a copy of Eric Rescorla's "SSL and TLS" book.
(Eric's also the author of ssldump, which might be handy.)

I recommend a copy of John Viega (et al)'s Network Security
with OpenSSL as well.

The former is geared more toward theory, the later is geared
more toward implementation.  They go very well together.
