This tutorial demonstrates how to connect to your CompleteFTP server using the popular FTP/SFTP client, FileZilla (download here). FileZilla supports FTP, FTPS and SFTP (FTPS vs SFTP).
SHA-1 is now getting too old and the possibility of successful attacks on its integrity are becoming more likely.
OpenSSL is to undergo a comprehensive security audit by NCC Group.
The previous post in this series about SSL/TLS described the handshake - the process that establishes an SSL/TLS session between client and server. The session includes agreed-upon encryption keys. Now, …
This post will explain the main features of the transport layer.
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol designed to secure communications over TCP/IP networks. SSL was developed by Netscape during the early 1990's, but various security flaws meant …
As part one explained, SSL/TLS is intended to provide secure network connections between a client (e.g. a web browser), and a server (e.g. a web server) by encrypting all data …
Cryptographic hash algorithms are important mathematical functions used widely in software, particularly in secure protocols such as SSL/TLS and SSH.
Like any secure protocol, vulnerabilities will continue to be discovered, and it is important to keep software that utilises TLS up-to-date so that the latest security patches are applied.
SSH is a secure network protocol that can used used on any platform for any purpose requiring secure network communication.
