We're going to secure the two connections that we left to be in plain text previously. Unfortunately encrypting things is rarely a straighforward process. Fortunately we have a whole week to spend on it.
== Generating a SelfINVESTIGATION 1: GENERATING A SELF-signed Certificate SIGNED CERTIFICATE ==
Normally (in production) you need to pay a certificate authority to issue a certificate for you. That's essentially a signed public key that will tell strangers on the internet your server is really yours (the certificate authority says so). There's an obvious problem with the previous statement but that's mostly how public key encryption works on the internet today.
