SSL (or TLS as the more modern versions are called) is a network authentication and encryption facility. It only applies its security services during network transmission. Once the data arrives at the target it is decrypted before being put onto the queue. SSL/TLS does not get used at all for local binding connections.
AMS is a message encryption facility. It applies its security services before the data leaves the application process. Decryption only takes place when the message arrives in the target application process. Therefore AMS applies to both local and client connections and while messages sit "at rest" on queues.
It is possible to have some functional overlap if messages are AMS encrypted and then also sent over SSL/TLS encrypted channels.
