Implementing SSL/TLS Using Cryptography and PKI

Hands-on, practical guide to implementing SSL and TLS protocols for Internet security If you are a network professional who knows C programming, this practical book is for you.

Hands-on, practical guide to implementing SSL and TLS protocols for Internet security If you are a network professional who knows C programming, this practical book is for you.  Focused on how to implement Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), this book guides you through all necessary steps, whether or not you have a working knowledge of cryptography. The book covers SSLv2, TLS 1.0, and TLS 1.2, including implementations of the relevant cryptographic protocols, secure hashing, certificate parsing, certificate generation, and more.  Coverage includes: Understanding Internet SecurityProtecting against Eavesdroppers with Symmetric CryptographySecure Key Exchange over an Insecure Medium with Public Key CryptographyAuthenticating Communications Using Digital SignaturesCreating a Network of Trust Using X.509 CertificatesA Usable, Secure Communications Protocol: Client-Side TLSAdding Server-Side TLS 1.0 SupportAdvanced SSL TopicsAdding TLS 1.2 Support to Your TLS LibraryOther Applications of SSLA Binary Representation of Integers: A PrimerInstalling TCPDump and OpenSSLUnderstanding the Pitfalls of SSLv2 Set up and launch a working implementation of SSL with this practical guide.
