How To Set Up MySQL Database Replication With SSL Encryption On Debian Squeeze This tutorial describes how to set up database replication in MySQL using an SSL connection for encryption (to make it impossible for hackers to sniff out passwords and data transferred between the master and slave). MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a database from a master server on another server (slave), and all updates to the database on the master server are immediately replicated to the database on the slave server so that both databases are in sync. This is not a backup policy because an accidentally issued DELETE command will also be carried out on the slave; but replication can help protect against hardware failures though.

Could you make a howto guide for Mysql Replication With SSL for Debian Wheezy? Looks like they changed things quite a bit.
