Bulletproof SSL and TLS: Understanding and Deploying SSL/TLS and PKI to Secure Servers and Web Applications

Put you on fast track in mastering SSL/TLS

Excellent in depth view of the topic and comes with access to a regularly updated copy in Ebook format.Author clearly knows his subject and addresses all aspects of SSL/TLS from its history and origins to the latest attacks and secure implementation recommendations.Very highly recommended for anyone working with SSL/TLS or with OpenSSL in general.I would have preferred a hardback copy as the covers tend to warp a lot but it's the content that make this a great read.

Comprehensive book. Obviously, if you understand the title of the book, you know what you're getting. The book does successfully navigate from pretty much 'no prior knowledge assumed' to 'everything you need to know' with clearly navigable 'jumping in' and 'jumping out' points. Extremely well written compared to most technical books. It is easy to read as deeply as you need to about each topic and then move forward when you feel further information would be surplus to your need/application.

Ivan Ristic written a great reference about SSL and TLS here. It's got the right balance of theory, fact and practical help. If your job entails looking after web servers then you should buy this book, you will learn a lot and best of all sleep better at night. This is up there in my list of "Great Technical Books" like Unix Power Tools, PC Intern, The Unix Programming Environment etc.

This is a great book - very well written and covers a lot of details about TLS. The only constructive comment that I have, some of the background information for topics described are not clearly defined. If someone is new to TLS they would require additional background reading.Overall this is a fantastic book - highly recommended.

Great. I needed to improve our TLS configuration for work and this book gave a thorough theoretical introduction, explained some of the most famous hacks, and gave practical advice on how to improve.
