If you are a network professional who knows C programming, this practical book is for you. Focused on how to implement Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), this book guides you through all necessary steps, whether or not you have a working knowledge of cryptography. The book covers SSLv2, TLS 1.0, and TLS 1.2, including implementations of the relevant cryptographic protocols, secure hashing, certificate parsing, certificate generation, and more.
Coverage includes:
- Understanding Internet Security
- Protecting against Eavesdroppers with Symmetric Cryptography
- Secure Key Exchange over an Insecure Medium with Public Key Cryptography
- Authenticating Communications Using Digital Signatures
- Creating a Network of Trust Using X.509 Certificates
- A Usable, Secure Communications Protocol: Client-Side TLS
- Adding Server-Side TLS 1.0 Support
- Advanced SSL Topics
- Adding TLS 1.2 Support to Your TLS Library
- Other Applications of SSL
- A Binary Representation of Integers: A Primer
- Installing TCPDump and OpenSSL
- Understanding the Pitfalls of SSLv2
Set up and launch a working implementation of SSL with this practical guide.

Free Implementing SSL / TLS Using Cryptography and PKI
This book explains a very complex topic (SSL) in a clear, step-by-step fashion.
As well as examining the cryptographic protocols themselves, the author explains the background reasons and history behind their design. He isn't afraid to get into the complex details, but he always stays focused on what's important: designing and implementing SSL. When explaining elliptic curve cryptography, for example, he briefly summarizes the esoteric maths that underlie it - enough to wet your appetite, if you're interested in that kind of thing - but then concentrates on how to actually implement ECC in code.
The author's writing style is friendly, informal and very readable. Even the grammar is near-flawless.
The author provides clear, well-thought-out sample code for everything - right there in the book. No having to download code from a broken link!

This book is for S/W engineers or students who want to learn SSL and/or use OpenSSL to integrate SSL into their apps.
That OpenSSL book (Network Security with OpenSSL) doesn't work. It cannot even explain OpenSSL APIs well enough, not to mention SSL. I mean, that book tells you to call API foo() first and then bar() next. But it doesn't tell you why. Given so many complicated data structures and APIs involved, you'd be stuck immediately if you want to do something not covered in the book.
But this book shows you all the real world details about SSL, and how to implement an SSL library. The structure of those SSL APIs implemented is similar to OpenSSL. Concepts involved are the same. From this book, you can learn how those concepts and algorithms are pieced together. That's why you'll know how to use OpenSSL after reading this book.
I find the notes on some SSL history across the book are also very useful. These facts are hard to find, and usually not mentioned in formal documents. It helps you understand why SSL works like this today.
Salute to the author !
