SSL/TLS is often implemented without being fully understood!
If you’ve worked in an IT environment of any size and for any period, you’ve used SSL/TLS at least once. Think of that self-signed certificate you’ve created for the company’s internal portal or when the information security department required you to switch to HTTPS for all web communications.
90% of the , you follow the steps to implement SSL/TLS, but you don’t really get the why and the how. Remember when the information security professional required you to use TLS 1.2 and not 1.1 what’s the difference Are we using SSL or TLS or both Why does the browser somes show a warning message when you switch to HTTPS although you followed every step in the guide What is mTLS
Do you have to read books and articles about all that jargon Probably not.
This class is here to help you!
SSL/TLS theory and implementation was designed for those of us who need to get up to speed with SSL/TLS as soon as possible. But they don’t have to go through all the books, articles, guides, and manuals.
The class was created with junior developers, operators, and QA eeers in mind. It is a bner’s course. So, if you are a seasoned security professional with many years of IT security experience and you’re looking to take your knowledge to the next level, this course is not for you.
