Dear D. D.
Hello.Thanks for your comment.
Actually, separation of broadcast domains, was the original reason of 
creating VLAN concept;but not the only one. Nowadays, when it comes to 
design (for example a LAN), VLANs are used, not because of 
separation/isolation of "broadcast traffic" but for separation 
"different traffics" within LAN environment; for example separation the 
traffics of SALES Dept. from Technical Dept. which indeed is because of 
the "Security" reasons. Using VLANs is not a total solution for Security 
because the traffic is readable(not encrypted) if get sniffed. But of 
course, there are some tricks to overcome this problem, like using 
Encryption. And the one term I could mention here to show using VLANs in 
Security fields, is "Layer-2 VPN" that has different ways of 
implementation and using VLAN is one of them. VPNs or any other Security 
solutions is nothing but preventing non-authorized access to our data as 
much as much as needed and possible.

Good luck my friend

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
