I think you misunderstand the nature of SSL.
The SSL process works as follows:
1. Client connects to web server and gives a list of available ciphers.
2. Server picks the strongest cipher that both it and the client support, and sends back a certificate with its name and public encryption key, signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (such as Verisign).
3. The client checks the certificate with the CA. In practice, clients tend to have a collection of CAs locally, so this can be done without having to contact the CA in realtime, and therefore more quickly.
4. The client sends back a random number encrypted with the server's public key. Only the client knows the number, and only the server can decrypt it (using its private key); this is where the third-party security comes in.
5. Server and client use this random number to generate key material to use for the rest of the transaction.
Step by Step: Configuring SSLYou have to apply for a certificate from a Certificate Authority, XOOPS can use this once you have it, but cannot create it for you.
Never let a man who does not believe something can be done, talk to a man that is doing it.
