Rate this book
SSL and TLS Essentials provides complete documentation of the SSL and TLS protocols, including advanced and proprietary extensions never before published. The book thoroughly covers the protocols in operation, including the contents of their messages, message formats, and the cryptographic calculations used to construct them. The text also includes an introduction to cryptography and an explanation of X.509 public key certificates. Stephen Thomas, author of IPng and the TCP/IP Protocols, presents this complex material in a clear and reader-friendly manner. The book includes more than 80 figures and illustrations to supplement its text, and it describes SSL in the context or real-world, practical applications. Readers will immediately understand not only the academic principles behind the security protocols, but how those principles apply to their own network security challenges.

Ясни и подробни обяснения. Обясняват не само как, но и защо. Има и картинки :) Силно я препоръчвам пред описанието на протоколите.

Very easy to read and cover almost all foundational aspects of SSL. Would give a five if it can be more up-to-date. It mainly introduce SSL v3, with TLS as in an extended chapter.

Good reading!
