  1. I would recommend using Peters Login Redirect to redirect users after login I have used it before and works well.

    You could redirect users to the secure area by adding the below to your .htaccess file :

    Redirect 301 blog1.example.com/wp-admin/dashboard.php secure.example.com/wp-admin 
    
  2. I would get a wildcard SSL certificate. It allows an unlimited number of subdomains to be secured for your main domain.

    Then I would force SSL login in wp-config.php:

    define('FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', true);
    /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
    require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
