  2. WHAT IS SECURE SOCET LAYER (SSL) ? • A PROTOCOL for securely transmitting data via the internet. • NETWORK LAYER application. • Developed by NETSCAPE.

  3. SSL PROTOCOL LAYERS

  4. HOW SSL WORKS When a web browser accesses a site secured by an SSL certificate, the following events happen: “SSL Handshake”

  5. THE SSL HANDSHAKE • Browser (client) asks the server (website) for its identity. • Server provides its SSL Certificate. • Browser examines validity of the certificate.

  6. THE SSL HANDSHAKE (cont’d) • If trusted, the browser sends confirmation to server. • The web server replies with a digitally-signed message that starts SSL-encrypted exchange of information (“session”).

  7. SSL CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEM • Uses PUBLIC KEY andPRIVATE KEY to encrypt data. • Server sends the public key. • Browser (client) checks to ensure it trusts the server.

  8. SSL CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEM • The private key is used to encrypt information passed to the browser, which can then be decrypted with the public key.

  9. Encryption Strength • 128-bit keys • It allows340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 unique encryptions codes.

  10. SSL OBJECTIVES • Authentication between client and server: cryptographic techniques. • Ensuring data integrity. • Securing data privacy.

  11. Types of SSL Certificates • Domain Validation (DV) • For the domain to approve the CSR. • Validate domain owner and what they intend to use the domain for.

  12. Types of SSL Certificates • Organization Validation (OV) • “high assurance” certificates • ensures the identity of the domain owner • aids in identifying potential “phishing” activities.

  13. Types of SSL Certificates • Extended Validation (EV) • display the green URL bar • promise users the safest possible experience • checks the identity and confirms the authenticity.

  14. Setting up a new SSL Certificate • Admin issues a Certificate Signing Request. • CA validates information and issues SSL Certificate • Admin installs certificate on the server. • Expires within 1 to 3 years.

  15. Transport Layer Security • SSL has more recently known as Transport Layer Security(TLS).
