Network security with OpenSSL. (Wireless Literature).OpenSSL is an open source library that implements the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (1) (Transport Layer Security) A security protocol from the IETF that is based on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 protocol developed by Netscape. TLS uses digital certificates to authenticate the user as well as authenticate the network (in a wireless (Transport Layer Security) protocols to secure applications that need to communicate over a network. It is the most widely deployed, freely available implementation of these protocols. Fully featured and cross-platform, working on Unix and Windows alike, OpenSSL can be used from C and C++ programs, or from the command line, and even from other languages such as Python, Perl and PHP (PHP Hypertext Preprocessor) A scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages. With syntax from C, Java and Perl, PHP code is embedded within HTML pages for server side execution. . And it's more than just a free implementation of SSL. It also includes a general-purpose cryptographic library, with implementations of the industry's best-regarded algorithms such as 3DES (Triple DES), AES, and RSA (1) (Rural Service Area) See MSA. (2) (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) A highly secure cryptography method by RSA Security, Inc., Bedford, MA (www.rsa.com), a division of EMC Corporation since 2006. It uses a two-part key. as well as message digest algorithms and message authentication codes. www.oreilly.com |
