Description

Start your journey by exploring how HTTP works and why HTTPS is critical, with early lessons focusing on capturing and inspecting HTTP and encrypted traffic. You'll build a strong understanding of symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing, and modern encryption algorithms using OpenSSL and Wireshark. Next, you’ll dive into the architecture of TLS and how it works with the Public Key Infrastructure. This section unpacks the TLS handshake, hashing for integrity, digital signatures for authenticity, and how certificates are issued and validated. You’ll even examine TLS 1.3, quantum-ready algorithms, and the hybrid key exchange process. Finally, you'll bring theory to practice by creating your own HTTPS server using XCA, OpenSSL, and Node. This section guides you through building a local certificate authority, generating server keys, and launching your own secure localhost server. By course end, you’ll fully understand how secure web communication is built, verified, and deployed.
