Description: E-businesses have long used Secure Socket Layer (SSL), a public key cryptography method, to encrypt sensitive information, verify a user's identity before allowing access, and discourage spoofing. However, because it was a closed protocol, Web programmers had no resources for adding advanced security measures -- until now. Written by the author of IPng and the TCP/IP Protocols (also from Wiley), SSL and TLS Essentials contains the complete documentation of SSL, plus coverage of the IETF's Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Microsoft's Server Gated Cryptography (SGC). Thomas also provides a concise tutorial in cryptography using eight real-world scenarios that illustrate protocol operations and details of SSL messaging.
