MySQL Server 4.0 supports secure traffic between the client and the server,
greatly increasing security against malicious intrusion and unauthorised
access. Web applications being a cornerstone of MySQL use, web developers
have been able to use @code{Secure Socket Layer} (@code{SSL}) to secure the
traffic between the the end user browser and the web application, be it
written in PHP, Perl, ASP or using any other web development tool. However,
the traffic between the development tool and the @code{mysqld} server
process has been protected only by virtue of them being processes
residing on computers within the same firewall. In MySQL Server 4.0,
the @code{mysqld} server daemon process can itself use @code{SSL},
thus enabling secure traffic to MySQL databases from, say, a Windows
application residing outside the firewall.
