- Deep dive into TLS (previously called SSL) and HTTPS: Gain insights that set you apart from 99% of developers. Understand the true meaning of HTTPS beyond the surface-level claims of “security”
- The end of HTTP/1.1: Any serious developer today must concentrate on TLS security and hosting websites over the more robust protocols like HTTP/2 and HTTP/3. Stay relevant in a rapidly evolving digital landscape
- Key Concepts Unlocked: Explore advanced topics such as hybrid key exchange, encryption, public key infrastructure (PIK), asymmetric and symmetric cryptography, TLS handshake, HMAC, signatures, hashing, and cipher suites. Each concept builds a solid foundation for your web security knowledge.
This course is meticulously crafted for developers who are eager to elevate their TLS skills and gain a profound understanding of HTTPS, Certificate Authorities, and secure server configurations.
SSL is old-school, outdated and deprecated. Therefore this course focuses on TLS as the protocol used with HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.
What You’ll Learn:
Throughout this course, you will embark on an adventure that seamlessly blends theory with hands-on practice. Here’s what you can expect:
- Practical HTTPS setup: You are going to learn how to use Node.js, and Live Server to set up a localhost server over a secure TLS / HTTPS connection. You will master the process of creating certificates and generating keys.
- Encryption: Understand the principles of encryption, including both symmetric and asymmetric methods, the concept of “keys” and how they are applied in secure HTTPS communications.
- TLS Handshake Mechanics: Dive deep into the TLS handshake process, learning how secure connections are established between clients and servers.
- Public Key Infrastructure: Learn about the framework that enables secure data exchange through digital certificates and key management.
- Advanced TLS Concepts and Cryptography: Gain insights into Hybrid Key Exchange (KEM algos), HMAC, signatures, hashing techniques, and cipher suites that form the backbone of secure TLS web interactions.
This Course Is Practical:
You’ll put theory into action by setting up your own secure local server using HTTPS through the following steps:
- Create Your Own Certificate Authority (CA): Learn how to set up a CA from scratch, giving you the authority to issue certificates for your projects.
- Self-Sign Your CA Certificate: Discover how to self-sign your CA certificate, making it uniquely yours and ready for deployment.
- Generate Keys for Security: Master the process of generating private and public keys for your server.
- Request a Signed Certificate: Complete the setup by learning how to request a signed certificate, finalizing your secure server configuration.
- Sign Your Server’s Certificate: Use your newly created CA to sign your server’s certificate, ensuring secure communication for your local applications.
Hands-On Experience:
In this course you will spin up a localhost server (running on 127.0.0.1) over HTTPS using:
- Live Server in Visual Studio Code (we do this using a GUI and also OpenSSL)
- A Node server instance, using the mkcert library (I’ll show you how to do this using the API and also the CLI)
Additionally, you’ll analyze traffic for both HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, gaining insights into modern web communication protocols. This course is not just about learning; it’s about doing!
