Below we have a collection of Blog posts written by our in-house SSL/TLS and Security Experts, and also a collection of guest posters we invite every so often. In addition, you can find guides for installation and configurations, the best ways to secure your systems, fixes to common problems or updates to the industry.
Description: Not sure if you need an SSL certificate for your website? Here are some extremely convincing reasons to get SSL certificates, and fast! As ubiquitous as SSL certificates might be in this day and age, quantifying their specific boons isn't always easy. An ideal SSL certificate doesn't really make itself known, after all, and an SSL certificate's… [read more →]
Don’t worry about ciphers… if you’re using TLS 1.3 If you’re in the enviable position to be fully in control of your endpoints, TLS 1.3 is secure by default. The protocol deprecates a lot of technologies supported in earlier protocols solely for backwards compatibility. Additionally, in earlier versions of TLS, your cipher list must have been carefully curated in order to support perfect forward secrecy… [read more →]
The visibility and overall success of any business with an online presence start with a good domain name. Unique, tailored, and specific domain names intuitively drive consumers and potential customers alike to a product or service. Once a business has secured a domain, they should fight tooth and nail to keep it, lest they subject themselves to a lengthy (and costly) rebranding exercise. Anyone… [read more →]

For more than 20 years, OpenSSL has been the most widely used SSL/TLS library in use by software applications for cryptographic purposes. OpenSSL itself was a fork of the SSLeay project, now defunct. OpenSSL is free and open source, which is a huge boon for a library serving as the backbone of a secure internet. While OpenSSL is by far the most prolific way of handling cryptography from within… [read more →]
