Hi....
I have a question as I am not clear about it. Suppose you are connected to a non secure wireless network then how safe it is to use a web site that has SSL turned on? Does SSL turned on mean it is okay to connect from non secured wireless connection?

When a site fully uses SSL, nobody else in the wireless network will be able to read your passwords transmitted to that site.

SSL is designed so that even if I can read every packet of your handshake and transmission, I still can't (without lots of processing power) figure out the contents of the transmission.
