Take a look at http://www.apache-ssl.org for pointers on the setup. You'll need to get a commercial server cert from Verisign or Thawte (my preference is Thawte) if you don't want your users to get worrisome security messages when they go to your pages. If you can deal with the security messages, you can generate and sign your own certificate. As far as generating secure pages, they are the same as standard HTML forms. The only difference is that the end-user browser knows to enable encryption/decryption for communication with the web server.
