Haijun Wang · Microcomputer Development · 2004
The secure communication between WWW server and browser is the basis of WEB data exchange. The SSL(Secure Socket Layer)protocol is a security protocol, which can provide data cryptograph,sever authentication,message integrity and optional client authentication. OpenSSL toolkit is open source software, which can implement SSL2.0,SSL3.0,TLS1.0.In this thesis, SSL protocol rule is analyzed and OpenSSL toolkit is introduced. Then, how to sign and manage certificate is introduced in this paper.The practice proves that is convenient to sign and manage certificates by using base documents provided by OpenSSL.
