 # Platform SSL
 
-TODO (bacongobbler): rewrite for v2
+SSL/TLS is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server
+and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain
+private and integral.
+
+To enable SSL for your cluster and all apps running upon it, you can add an SSL key to your load
+balancer. You must either provide an SSL certificate that was registered with a CA or provide
+[your own self-signed SSL certificate](../reference-guide/creating_self_signed_ssl.md).
+
+## Installing SSL on a Load Balancer
+
+On most cloud-based load balancers, you can install a SSL certificate onto the load balancer
+itself. Any communication inbound to the load balancer will be encrypted while the internal
+components of Deis will still communicate over HTTP.
+
+When you install Deis, Kubernetes will provision a load balancer for the routers. To enable SSL,
+you will need to modify the listener settings on the load balancer:
+
+ - swap the load balancer protocol on port 443 to use HTTPS
+ - swap the backend protocol to use HTTP
+ - change the backend port to the same backend port as the listener on port 80
+ - install the certificate on the listener for port 443
+
+See your vendor's specific instructions on installing SSL on your load balancer. For AWS, see their
+documentation on [installing an SSL cert for load balancing](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/DeveloperGuide/ssl-server-cert.html).
+
+## Installing SSL on the Deis Routers
+
+You can also use the Deis routers to terminate SSL connections. Use `kubectl` to install the
+certificate and private keys. Open your favorite text editor and create the Kubernetes manifest:
+
+	$ $EDITOR deis-router-default-cert.yaml
+
+At this point, you'll want to create a new Kubernetes secret bearing the wildcard certificate.
+The following criteria must be met:
+
+ - The name must be deis-router-default-cert
+ - The certificate's public key must be supplied as the value of the `cert` key
+ - The certificate's private key must be supplied as the value of the `key` key
+ - Both the certificate and private key must be base64 encoded
+
+For example:
+
+	$ cat deis-router-default-cert.yaml
+	apiVersion: v1
+	kind: Secret
+	metadata:
+	  name: deis-router-default-cert
+	  namespace: deis
+	type: Opaque
+	data:
+	  cert: LS0...tCg==
+	  key: LS0...LQo=
+
+If your certificate has intermediate certs that need to be presented as part of a certificate
+chain, append the intermediate certs to the bottom of the `cert` value before base64 encoding the
+cert chain.
+
+Once you've created the certificate manifest, you can then install the certificate with
+`kubectl create -f deis-router-default-cert.yaml`. The router will pick this up and update its
+configuration on-the-fly.
