SSL is an essential part of securing your IIS 7.0 site and creating a self-signed certificate in IIS 7 is much easier to do than in previous versions of IIS. SSL certificates enable the encryption of all traffic sent to and from your IIS web site, preventing others from viewing sensitive information. It uses public key cryptography to establish a secure connection. This means that anything encrypted with a public key (the SSL certificate) can only be decrypted with the private key and vice versa.

Never use a self signed certificate on an e-commerce site or any site that transfers valuable personal information like credit cards, social security numbers, etc.
