Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C, Second Edition by Bruce Schneier |
Windows Server 2008 PKI and Certificate Security (PRO-Other) by Brian Komar |
Helpfully, the authors spend a fair amount of time explaining the problem of network security and the broad technologies (public-key encryption, key length considerations, authentication, and so on). Having explained the universe in which a security system must work, they then show how to acquire a digital certificate from a certification authority (CA). From there, they show how to use the digital certificate with several pieces of software, including Internet Explorer 3 and 4 (but not 5), Netscape Communicator 4, and Outlook Express 4.
Of more interest to administrators and developers are code snippets that show how to request and process digital certificates in a variety of environments, including Active Server Pages (ASP) and Java. There's background information on the newly standardized Public Key Infrastructure with X.509 (PKIX) and the Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) standard for financial operations too. Coverage of Microsoft Certificate Server includes a lot of programming information, including coverage of the Policy and Exit Modules. --David Wall
Topics covered: Encryption, authentication, X.509 digital certificates, certification authorities, S/MIME, trust relationships, and Microsoft Certificate Server.
