You could miss it if you weren't paying close attention through all the Heartbleed blather, but last week Apple patched a severe problem in their TLS/SSL code in iOS and OS X. An attacker in a ...

Cybercriminals are using a new method to evade detection to make sure that the traffic generated by their malicious campaigns is not being detected, a technique based on SSL/TLS signature ...

SSL and TLS are similar technologies because they share a codebase, though one is better than the other. In fact, one is dead and the other still reigns supreme to the time this day. By end of this ...

Stephen A. Thomas is chief architect for Wave7 Optics. He has been actively involved in TCP/IP standards development for nearly two decades, and has co-authored and contributed to numerous Internet ...

Part 3 of a six-part article: The RFC 2246 document states the following: “The cryptographic parameters of the session state are produced by the TLS Handshake Protocol, which operates on top of the ...

Online attackers are trying to obscure their encrypted traffic in an attempt to evade detection, using a technique known as "cipher stunting," accoding to Internet infrastructure and security firm ...

Do you know what SSL protocols you expose to your users? Are your settings optimized for security? Have you properly deprecated older TLS certs? Here's what you need to know. Most of us take Secured ...

SSL offload to GPU's died about a decade ago, when AES-NI became a meaningful thing. You can do line rate 10G AES on a single cores worth of AES-NI in x86 land, taking the latency hit of pushing that ...

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the protocol that underpins secure client/server communications over the Internet. TLS guarantees this by providing the cryptographic functions of authentication, ...

In Figure 10-1, remote access users at an Internet caf , airport Internet kiosk, and a hotel access the corporate network using variously HTTPS, POP3S, SMTPS, and port forwarding (TCP-based ...
