內容描述

Most applications these days are at least somewhat network aware, but how do
you protect those applications against common network security threats? Many
developers are turning to OpenSSL, an open source version of SSL/TLS, which is
the most widely used protocol for secure network communications. The
OpenSSL library is seeing widespread adoption for web sites that require
cryptographic functions to protect a broad range of sensitive information, such
as credit card numbers and other financial transactions. The library is the only
free, full-featured SSL implementation for C and C++, and it can be used
programmatically or from the command line to secure most TCP-based network
protocols. Network Security with OpenSSL enables developers to
use this protocol much more effectively. Traditionally, getting something simple
done in OpenSSL could easily take weeks. This concise book gives you the
guidance you need to avoid pitfalls, while allowing you to take advantage of the
library?s advanced features. And, instead of bogging you down in the technical
details of how SSL works under the hood, this book provides only the information
that is necessary to use OpenSSL safely and effectively. In step-by-step
fashion, the book details the challenges in securing network communications, and
shows you how to use OpenSSL tools to best meet those challenges. As a
system or network administrator, you will benefit from the thorough treatment of
the OpenSSL command-line interface, as well as from step-by-step directions for
obtaining certificates and setting up your own certification authority. As a
developer, you will further benefit from the in-depth discussions and examples
of how to use OpenSSL in your own programs. Although OpenSSL is written in C,
information on how to use OpenSSL with Perl, Python and PHP is also included.
OpenSSL may well answer your need to protect sensitive data. If that?s
the case, Network Security with OpenSSL is the only guide available on
the subject.
