 * My server supports SSL but I assume I need a SSL Certificate for my WordPress
   installation in order to use the Enforce SSL option of iThemes. Is my assumption
   correct?

 * Indeed in order to use SSL you need to install a SSL Certificate on your server.
 * There is no point in using the iTSec plugin Enforce SSL feature without a SSL
   Certificate.
