UPDATE: So you doesn't work in the browser context. As I understand these things when your code works in the browser context and on the SSL-enabled page the browser automatically add a certificate to each your request because for SSL to work the both sides (the client and the server) need to use a certificate. If you create a request to SSL-enabled resource manually outside the browser you need to supply the certificate youself. The *.cer file is the certificate saved to file. You can use simple self-signed certificate. There are several tools to create such a certificate. The code example shows how to add a certificate from the *.cer file to each your request from the managed client object model in SharePoint.
