Secure TCP/IP Programming with SSL: Developer's Guide (Paperback)

Getting SSL to actually work for most has been a very difficult assignment and most opt for an expensive commercial package, and end up having the same difficult challenge regardless only now you have a vendor and purchase orders to deal with. This book is for the developer who needs to integrate SSL communication with a new application or an existing application without the massive undertaking or expense and for those that want to get up and running and worry about the details later. To that end the OpenSSL project is perfect for that use-of course it wasn't easy getting an open source project to actually work, but this book cuts right through the garbage and gives you the code you can use today without hassel. So, if you don't know what RSA is and have no idea about how an existing TCP/IP connection can have SSL on top of it, then don't worry, this book is for you and though the author doesn't support it, you can also use the understanding of SSL to attack or even counter-attack encryption. It starts with downloading the OpenSSL library, walks you through setting up your own certificates including Authenticode and then shows you the code in both C++ and Delphi. This book, though it walks you through the use of SSL, is NOT a beginners guide and is not for the feint of heart-this book demonstrates one of the more difficult aspects to software engineering and indeed mathematics so enjoy what took nearly 4 years to complete and most of all have some fun.

讓 SSL 實際運作對大多數人來說是一個非常困難的任務，大多數人選擇昂貴的商業套件，最終仍然面臨相同的困難挑戰，只是現在你還需要處理供應商和採購訂單。這本書是為那些需要將 SSL 通信與新應用程序或現有應用程序集成的開發人員而寫的，而無需進行大規模的工作或花費。對於那些想要快速上手並稍後再擔心細節的人來說，OpenSSL 項目非常適合使用-當然，讓一個開源項目實際運作並不容易，但這本書直接解決了問題，並提供了您今天可以使用的代碼，無需麻煩。所以，如果你不知道 RSA 是什麼，也不知道現有的 TCP/IP 連接如何使用 SSL，那麼不用擔心，這本書就是為你而寫的，儘管作者不支持這樣做，你也可以使用對 SSL 的理解來攻擊甚至反擊加密。它從下載 OpenSSL 函式庫開始，引導您完成設置自己的證書，包括 Authenticode，然後展示了 C++ 和 Delphi 的代碼。這本書雖然引導您使用 SSL，但並不是初學者指南，也不適合膽小的人-這本書展示了軟體工程和數學中較困難的一個方面，所以請享受這本書花了近4年時間完成的成果，最重要的是要玩得開心。
