You are about to undertake a journey into the mysterious world of cryptography. Bulletproof TLS and PKI is a complete guide to using TLS encryption and PKI to deploy secure servers and web applications. Written by Ivan Ristic, author of the popular SSL Labs web site, this book will teach you everything you need to know to protect your systems from eavesdropping and impersonation attacks. Cryptography is the science and art of secure communication. Cryptography is a very diverse field and has a strong basis in mathematics, but I will keep my overview at a high level, with the aim of giving you a foundation that will enable you to follow the discussion in the rest of the text. TLS is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide secure communication over insecure infrastructure. What this means is that if TLS is properly deployed, you can open a communication channel to an arbitrary service on the Internet, be reasonably sure that you’re talking to the correct server, and exchange information safe in knowing that your data won’t fall into someone else’s hands and that it will be received intact. These protocols protect the communication link or transport layer, which is where the name TLS comes from.
