J-Fall 2018: Maarten Mulders – SSL/TLS for Mortals
Using Transport Layer Security (TLS) the right way is often a big hurdle for developers. We prefer to have that one colleague perform “something with certificates”, because he/she knows how that works. But what if “that one colleague” is enjoying vacation and something goes wrong with the certificates? In this session we’ll take a close look at secure communication at the transport level. Starting with what exactly SSL or TLS is, we’ll dive into public/private keys, and signing. We’ll also learn what all this has to do with an unfortunate Dutch notary. Of course, there’ll be plenty of practical tips & trics, as well as demo’s. Attend this session to become “that one colleague”! A PhD in math is not required; experience with assembling furniture can come in handy.
Enthusiastic architect, senior developer and trainer. Passionate about “building the right thing” and “building the thing right”. Focusing on lean and elegant solutions.
