Using SSL with a MySQL DB Instance
Amazon RDS supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections with DB instances running the MySQL database engine.
Amazon RDS creates an SSL certificate and installs the certificate on the DB instance when Amazon RDS provisions the instance.
These certificates are signed by a certificate authority.
The SSL certificate includes the DB instance endpoint as the Common Name (CN) for the SSL certificate to guard against spoofing attacks.
