Live eTutorial: Transport Layer Security (TLS) / Secure Socket Layers (SSL)

Synopsis:
Transport Layer Security (TLS) evolved from Secure Socket Layers (SSL) which was originally developed by Netscape Communications Corporation to secure web sessions. However, the primary goal of the TLS protocol is to provide privacy and data integrity between two communicating applications.

The objective of this tutorial is to compare SSL and TLS protocols by explaining various tools and strategies to enhance security for network-centric applications or communication.

Target audience:
Engineers, Network Managers and Operators, and Security policy makers who are interested in network security and want to gain an understanding of how TLS can be used to improve security.

Prerequisites:
It is assumed that participants have a basic understanding of:

- Network operations, Internet technologies, OSI reference model and TCP/IP.
- Basic Linux command line (CLI) skills.
