O'Reilly has just published our book, "Network Security with OpenSSL". First, the marketing speak: "Instead of getting bogged down in the technical details of how SSL/TLS works under the hood, this book focuses on the information that is necessary to use OpenSSL safely and effectively. The reader is taken step by step from understanding the challenges faced in communicating securely to using the OpenSSL tools to best meet those challenges. System and network administrators will benefit from the thorough treatment of the OpenSSL command-line interface, as well as from step-by-step directions for obtaining certificates and setting up their own certification authority. Developers will benefit from the in-depth discussions and examples of how to use OpenSSL in their own programs. Although OpenSSL is written in C, information on how to use OpenSSL with Perl, Python and PHP is also included." The book is available from the usual sources, such as Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/059600270X/ We'll also have a few signed copies available to people in the Washington DC area, this Thursday (the 27th). We'll have them at 30% off. Please email me to reserve a copy, as we only have a limited number. At the event, John Viega will be giving a FREE talk entitled, "Why SSL Isn't Securing Your Software".
