Topic: Secure Sockets Layer


  
 Transport Layer Security - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Developed by Netscape, SSL version 3.0 was released in 1996, which later served as a basis to develop TLS version 1.0, an IETF standard protocol first defined in RFC 2246.
SSL operates in modular fashion: its authors designed it for extendability, with support for forwards and backwards compatibility and negotiation between peers.
Some early implementations of SSL could use a maximum of only 40-bit symmetric keys because of US government restrictions on the export of cryptographic technology.

 Secure Sockets Layer Overview
SSL encryption makes it possible to transmit electronic data in a secure environment, and is virtually impossible for computer hackers to decode.
The term "sockets" is used to describe the method for transferring electronic data between a client program and a server program over a network or between program layers located on the same computer.
SSL was developed by Netscape several years ago and gained the support of Microsoft and other Internet client/server developers.

 SSL - Secure Sockets Layer, Synthesizer Specification Language
When SSL is employed to secure your transaction, the information contained in your transaction is secretly encoded as it is sent between your computer and the computer (web server) you have linked to.
Secure Sockets Layer, is a technology developed by Netscape Communications Inc. for encrypting data sent between clients and servers.
SSL is the basis for Netscape's secure communication technologies.

 [SSL-Talk List FAQ] Secure Sockets Layer Discussion List FAQ v1.1.1
SSL relies on an underlying reliable protocol to assure that bytes are not lost or inserted.
SSL Plus will ask the Read() callback to read the header of the next record (3 or 5 bytes).
SSL doesn't allow recursive encryption, so by using it this way you lose the transparency of the proxy and get multiple segments of secure connections, rather than a single end-to-end connection.

 Secure Sockets Layer instructions
SSL certificates [and their relatives - X509 certificates, server certificates, digital certificates and digital signatures] are mathematically generated files, that when fed to some complex mathematical algorithms, can act as both a digital 'key' and 'signature' to a web server.
The first task when incorporating SSL into a web site, is to consider carefully where SSL should be used.
In the early days of the internet, when it was primarily an academic resource, all information was transmitted in 'plain text' - anyone viewing the data in transit could read it with simple, readily available network tools.
http://www.liquidweb.com/manual/chapter2/ssl.html

  
 The SSL Protocol
In SSL, all data sent is encapsulated in a record, an object which is composed of a header and some non-zero amount of data.
Various cryptographic algorithms are used for the session cipher.
The SSL Protocol can negotiate an encryption algorithm and session key as well as authenticate a server before the application protocol transmits or receives its first byte of data.
http://wp.netscape.com/eng/security/SSL_2.html

  
 SSL Certificate Glossary
SSL is independent of the application it summarizes and any other higher level protocol can layer on top of SSL transparently.
The digital signature can be a permanently set string of bytes, or it can also be more complex and algorithmically based, as with a secure socket layer.
An error of commission or omission in a system which may falsely permit security mechanisms or safeguards to be bypassed, weakening internet security.

 Secure Sockets Layer - Computerworld
SSL is a security protocol that protects communications between any SSL-enabled client and server software running on a network that uses TCP/IP, a set of protocols that the Department of Defense developed to link different computers together.
Between 2.0 and 3.0, what got added is better security checks on the protocol itself, so that people cannot do a man-in-the-middle attack and artificially reduce the security of the protocol.
Business intelligence software and data-analysis technologies are entrenched in the enterprise, but IT managers need to take special care planning and managing these sophisticated tools.

 Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
It is an emerging standard developed by Netscape Communications to transfer information securely across the Internet.
The "s" in https:// suggests an SSL related file.
As mentioned above, the secure environment refers to the transmission of information between web browser and web server.

 SSL Certificate Secure Sockets Layer
Because of the ever-increasing speed of computers, it became apparent that a 40-bit key wasn't secure enough.
Conceivably, with the high-end processors that would come available in the future, hackers could eventually try every key until they found the proper one, which would allow them to decrypt and steal private data.
(That's 340 trillion trillion trillion, for those of you keeping track at home.) It was determined that if computers kept advancing in speed as they have in the past, these 128 bit codes would remain secure for at least another decade, if it not longer.

 Using Secure Sockets Layer
SSL) provides encrypted connections, so that you and others can move information across the Internet with confidence that it will not be intercepted or modified in transit.
Regardless of SSL, you should not collect and store highly sensitive or confidential information within your Web site.
It is appropriate to use SSL to protect passwords, intellectual property, and other information on your Web site that you do not want to travel across the Internet unencrypted.

 XADM: How Secure Sockets Layer Works
Even if the communication between User A and User B is observed, nobody but User B can determine the secret information.
A person who may want to interfere with secure communications (in this example, User C) can create the following scenario to try to do so:
This technique strengthens Internet security by using the secret as another key, but in this case it is a key to a symmetric cryptographic algorithm, such as Data Encryption Standard (DES), RC4, or IDEA.

Most browsers support 40-bit SSL sessions, and the latest browsers enable users to encrypt transactions in 128-bit sessions - trillions of times stronger than 40-bit sessions.

 Secure Sockets Layer
SSL is a protocol that operates at the sockets layer of the TCP stack.
As such, it is allows the presentation level to rely on the protocol stack for security, rather than include code in each and every application for which security might be an issue.
It was developed by Netscape Communications as a method of ensuring secure transmissions at a level prior to the application level.
