he Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security(TLS) protocols form
the foundation for e-commerce security on the World Wide Web, verifying the
authenticity of Web sites, encrypting the transfer of sensitive data, and
ensuring the integrity of information exchanged. Now—for the first time the
details of these critical security protocols are available in a complete, clear,
and concise reference. SSL and TLS Essentials provides complete documentation of
the SSL and TLS protocols, including advanced and proprietary extensions never
before published. The book thoroughly covers the protocols in operation,
including the contents of their messages, message formats, and the cryptographic
calculations used to construct them. The text also includes an introduction to
cryptography and an explanation of X.509 public key certificates. Stephen
Thomas, author of IPng and the TCP/IP Protocols, presents this complex material
in a clear and reader-friendly manner. The book includes more than 80 figures
and illustrations to supplement its text, and it describes SSL in the context of
real-world, practical applications. Readers will immediately understand not only
the academic principles behind he security protocols, but how those principles
apply to their own network security challenges.

The book includes:

* Full details of Netscape's SSL and the IETF's TLS protocols, with
differences between the two clearl highlighted and explained
* A concise tutorial in cryptography
* Complete coverage of Netscape's International Step-Up and Microsoft's
Server Gated Cryptography implementations
* A description of X.509 public key certificates
* Details on implementing backwards compatibility among previous versions of
SSL and TLS
* A thorough security checklist with explanations of all known attacks on
SSL implementations, along with appropriate countermeasures.
