Now in its Third Edition, this completely revised and updated reference provides a thorough and comprehensive introduction into the SSL, TLS, and DTLS protocols, explaining all the details and technical subtleties and showing how the current design helps mitigate the attacks that have made press headlines in the past. The book tells the complete story of TLS, from its earliest incarnation (SSL 1.0 in 1994), all the way up to and including TLS 1.3. Detailed descriptions of each protocol version give you a full understanding of why the protocol looked like it did, and why it now looks like it does. You will get a clear, detailed introduction to TLS 1.3 and understand the broader context of how TLS works with firewall and network middleboxes, as well the key topic of public infrastructures and their role in securing TLS. You will also find similar details on DTLS, a close sibling of TLS that is designed to operate over UDP instead of TCP. The book helps you fully understand the rationale behind the design of the SSL, TLS, and DTLS protocols and all of its extensions. It also gives you an in-depth and accessible breakdown of the many vulnerabilities in earlier versions of TLS, thereby more fully equipping you to properly configure and use the protocols in the field and protect against specific (network-based) attacks. With its thorough discussion of widely deployed network security technology, coupled with its practical applications you can utilize today, this is a must-have book for network security practitioners and software/web application developers at all levels.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Rolf Oppliger received an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Berne, Switzerland, in 1991 and 1993, respectively. After spending a year as a postdoctoral researcher at the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI2) of UC Berkeley, he joined the federal authorities of the Swiss Confederation―in what has become the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC3)―in 1995 and continued his research and teaching activities at several universities in Switzerland and Germany. In 1999, he received the venia legendi for computer science from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, where he still serves as an adjunct professor. Also in 1999, he founded eSECURITY Technologies Rolf Oppliger4 to provide scientific and state-of-the-art consulting, education, and engineering services related to information security and began serving as the editor of Artech House’s Information Security and Privacy Series. Dr. Oppliger has published numerous papers, articles, and books, holds a few patents, regularly serves as a program committee member of internationally recognized conferences and workshops, and was a member of the editorial board of some prestigious periodicals in the field. He has been a senior member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and its Computer Society, as well as a member of the IEEE Computer Society and the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). Besides, he also served as the vice-chair of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Technical Committee 11 (TC11) Working Group 4 (WG4) on network security. His full curriculum vitae is available online.
