SSL Implementation in Liferay 6.1 clustered environment
SSL makes use of what is known as asymmetric cryptography,
commonly referred to as public key cryptography (PKI). With public key
cryptography, two keys are created, one public, one private. Anything encrypted
with either key can only be decrypted with its corresponding key. Thus if a
message or data stream were encrypted with the server's private key, it can be
decrypted only using its corresponding public key, ensuring that the data only
could have come from the server
