Key Players of SSL & TLS: Client, Server, Certificate Authority (CA) - Practical TLS

The TLS/SSL ecosystem involves three key players: the Client, the Server, and the Certificate Authority (CA). In this lesson we clearly define each of these terms and their roles in the world of SSL.

This lesson is a free lesson from my new course: Practical TLS. This course is a deep dive into SSL and TLS. This SSL Training course is all you need to to fully understand SSL and TLS.

It was great to see the explicit list of the top CA's. More great lessons from this channel.

How you clarified that a client isn’t actually the user but is the computer is not found on any other technology video. You break down even the simplest of concepts to ensure that the most basic / newbies to IT can follow along.

Even myself I benefit when you break it down to the grassroots level, as your teaching us how to be teachers! Keep up the excellent work

Amazing lessons 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻Thank you so much! By the way who is the another 2% CA ? Thanks in advance

Gigamon can work as the man-in-the-middle to decrypt TLS, forward traffic though the tool(s), loops back to the Gigamon where the traffic is re-encrypted..

Sir...do you have more widely distributed cources thru Udemy which can provide affordable cost? your course is the best in whatever i have come across to date. It has the right graphics, width and depth and perfectly explained.

If the client does not authenticate to the server, does this break the non-repudiation feature discussed in the last lesson?

[klajdigjoka]

Isnt the certificate public and can be presented by a MITM to engage in a tls handshake. What mechanism is used in TLS to confirm that the server holds the private key

[pss_crs]

Great info 👍, can please tell more about pros and cons and when to use or when not
OpenSSL vs this five Certificate authorities

Thanks 😊 .

in the day of IoT client providing the certificate becomes more and more common
