It does have to be set up on the server - requires a certificate, and a separate
IP number that will listen on port 443, with host headers starting with https://
Both the server and the client must be able to deal with 128 bit encryption.
Some providers already have a secure site, and allow clients to "share" their
authentication certificate, however it is more secure to have your own
certificate installed on your secure web site.
Additionally, you will most likely use a sub-domain such as
https://secure.yourdomain.tld
You should be able to connect to the same database, in order to pass cart items
back and forth with your public (unencrypted) site.

Subject: Implementing 128-bit encryption
Having never done this before with any coldfusion application, I'm not sure
how to implement this.
I'm guessing that this is something the server admin sets up and that he
would create a secure directory which I would then place my application
files into.
is this correct? if not, what are the usual steps.
Many thanks...
