Understanding Secure Sockets Layer (Lynda.com)
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
