Topic: what data to encypt threw mod_ssl, how and why?

[shaggy]

I have found out that with wpa_supplicant, apache, apache's mod_ssl, and wi-fi that you can encrypt data threw mod_ssl for wi-fi. So there's wi-fi.

mod_ssl is used for bank transactions, transferes, etc.

I have also came to find out that zonelabs IMSecure program which I have, use and paid for that that data can be transmitted securily using ssl.

Now that lead me to thinking.
1.) What data do u encrypt with ssl?
2.) Why?
3.) What data do u not encrypt using ssl? (I guess this quesiton is open ended)




Thanks

1)I encrypt all sensitive data other should not see.
2)Why encrypt? => Don't let others know which data I send from the client to the server and what the server is answering.
3)If there is enough bandwidth all data can go through ssl. Main fact not to use SSL is SEO (search engine optimizing). Robots like google robot won't follow SSL links cause they don't understand that protocol.

Currently I have 2 AP on my network.
One using WPA2 and the other one uses nothing.
But the 2nd one is isolated I use a VPN with SSL tunnel to the router to use it, it is more secure but slower compared tp WPA2 so I only use the 2nd AP (virtual AP actually) when doing back transactions.
