You'll need to configure your server to support HTTPS, which means getting or generating a certificate and installing it into the certificate store. Here's a quick start on how to configure SSL with Tomcat http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssl-howto.html

Once you have the server listening on a port for https traffic, you can configure your application with just a couple of modifications to your existing spring security xml configuration as noted here http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/docs/3.1.x/reference/springsecurity-single.html#ns-requires-channel
