Learning SSL/TLS

Learn the skills you need to plan, implement, and maintain a public key infrastructure (PKI) ecosystem that supports SSL/TLS security certificates.

Introduction

• Mitigate security holes in your network
• What you should know

1. PKI Overview

• Cryptography overview
• Symmetric and asymmetric encrypting
• PKI hierarchy
• Certificate authorities
• Certificates
• Certificate lifecycle management

2. PKI CA Implementation

• Install a Microsoft AD CS certificate authority
• Configure Microsoft AD CS certificate templates
• Configure a Linux OpenSSL PKI environment
• Configure an AWS Certificate Manager subordinate CA

3. PKI Certificate Acquisition

• SSL vs. TLS
• Acquire a web server certificate using Microsoft AD CS
• Acquire a client certificate using Microsoft AD CS
• Acquire a web server certificate using OpenSSL
• Acquire a web server certificate using AWS Certificate Manager
• Acquire a code-signing certificate

4. PKI Certificate Usage

• Hashing and digital signatures
• Configure a website with a certificate
• Configure a web browser with a certificate
• Configure a code-signing certificate with Microsoft PowerShell
