In this post, I will explain; how could we expose a WCF REST Service over secure HTPP (HTTPS)? Essentially there are three steps involved
1. Create a certificate or use a third party provided certificate
2. Configure HTTPS in IIS
3. Configure webHttpBinding to use transport level security

In center you will get an option of Server Certificates. Double click on that.
