Learning Secure Sockets Layer   

with Sean Colins

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptography protocol to protect web communication. Understanding Secure Sockets Layer takes the complicated subject of using TLS/SSL with public key infrastructure (PKI) for trusted encryption and identity verification, and breaks it down into easy-to-understand components that entry-level IT technicians, consultants, and support staff need to know—regardless of the types of computers, users, or networks supported. Join author Sean Colins for a focused and approachable course that will extend your knowledge of common SSL concepts and practices, including:

• SSL communications
• Certificate authorities
• Public key infrastructures
• Symmetric and asymmetric key pairs
• Cryptographic hash functions
• Encryption algorithms

Start now, and by the end of this course you'll have the knowledge to create SSL certificates, as well as revoke and renew them, from the command line
