A new certificate would need to be issued for each domain/sub domain. This can become very expensive, and tedious. All links would also need to be hard coded to use the SSL/HTTPS. Most home users, or small shops would not be willing to make the investment as there is no return. Just my 2 cents... -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of s0h0us () yahoo com Sent: Friday, November 14, 2008 10:28 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: questions on SSL I'm lookig for some comments regarding using SSL to encrypt connectivity to entire website as opposed to just certain critical connections such as an online banking link at a financial institutions. is this a more common practice now? Bandwidth wouldn't seem to be as big an issue as it was in the past with dialup connections. Can one SSL certificate be used to encrypt multiple links originating from the same site: https://x.domain.com https://y.domain.com thanks for the feedback
