 MySQL supports secure (encrypted) connections between MySQL clients and
 the server using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. This section
 discusses how to use SSL connections. It also describes a way to set up
 SSH on Windows. For information on requiring users to use SSL
 connections, see  grant.
 
 The standard configuration of MySQL is intended to be as fast as
 possible, so encrypted connections are not used by default.  Doing so
 would make the client/server protocol much slower.  Encrypting data is
 a CPU-intensive operation that requires the computer to do additional
 work and can delay other MySQL tasks.  For applications that require
 the security provided by encrypted connections, the extra computation
 is warranted.
 
 MySQL allows encryption to be enabled on a per-connection basis.  You
 can choose a normal unencrypted connection or a secure encrypted SSL
 connection according the requirements of individual applications.
