You might be misunderstanding the way that SSL works if you think these
two are comparable. A simple database credential system using a username
and password is much different than SSL, which uses asymmetric keys to
negotiate a symmetric key during the handshake. The symmetric key
(analogous to the username/password pair above) is always sent via an
encrypted channel and never plaintext.
