Implementing SSL / TLS Using Cryptography and PKI
Hands-on, practical guide to implementing SSL and TLS protocols for Internet security 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.

Simply great ...
I was forced to deal with a TLS system at work (not really my thing) and the book was invaluable in figuring out how things are supposed to work. This is hard stuff and the combination of theory, explanations and code gives you plenty of levels to approach it. This is one of those rare books that should be on your shelf as a reference.

The book is not bad at all and it shows the details of the multiplying big numbers, ASN1 parsing, but not with secure coding pattern

Excellent. Thank you Joshua.

The best way to understand SSL/TLS. A bottom approach of actually implementing encryption algorithms and integrating them with an implementation of HTTP clients.
