The First Few Milliseconds of an HTTPS Connection
This is a fabulous article that is well worth the half hour or so it will take you to read it. There will be parts you don't understand; don't worry about that, just plow through. The article describes the communications that bounce back and first in the first few hundred milliseconds of a secure connection. There are excursions into signing and cryptography, and information that makes the utterly ordinary seem amazing. If you have any interest in the technology, don't miss this article. Your brain cells will thank you. Jeff Moser, Moserware, June 15, 2009. [Link] [Tags: none] [Previous][Next]Comments
