I once set up an ActiveMQ client server, with SSL &nbsp;which shared certificates<br />
<br />
When testing web services I use curl over http, no SSL<br />
<br />
So I am not quite sure of the context of which curl is using https<br />
<br />
Below is an example <br />
<br />
curl -H &quot;Content-Type: application/json&quot; -d @input3.txt <a href="http://localhost:????/mule/getBalance" rel="ugc">http://localhost:????/mule/getBalance</a><br />
<br />
So I have 2 questions<br />
<br />
1&gt; &nbsp;Which port does https go through, probably not 8081<br />
<br />
2&gt; &nbsp;How is it actually SSL, there are no trust stores, etc <br />
<br />
Thanks for clearing up my confusion

I once set up an ActiveMQ client server, with SSL  which shared certificates

When testing web services I use curl over http, no SSL

So I am not quite sure of the context of which curl is using https

Below is an example 

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @input3.txt http://localhost:????/mule/getBalance

curl and https

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Encryption

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.
