I'm building up a control panel for my company and with it comes the maintenance of many servers that are clustered as well as other types of servers.
I'm tempted to utilize CURL to perform a POST method across a SSL based URL. However, I feel that maybe just not enough.
Authorize.net, a provides a SSL based URL which we wrap paramters into a POST to that URL.
Security wise, would there be anything else I should do to protect a possible man in the middle attack where one could intercept the data from the master server as it reaches other servers?
