"Secure Web Communication with HTTPS" offers a comprehensive and authoritative exploration of the principles, technologies, and practices that safeguard today's web. Beginning with an historical perspective on the evolution of web security, the book delves into foundational topics such as core security objectives, formal threat models, and the critical role that cryptography plays in maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. Readers are guided through the differences between HTTP and HTTPS, and introduced to the complex but essential ecosystem encompassing browsers, servers, and certificate authorities.
Building upon a deep technical exposition of the TLS protocol and the X.509 certificate infrastructure, this book provides actionable guidance on implementing HTTPS in modern web environments. Detailed coverage of server architecture, protocol hardening, HSTS, session resumption, and operational monitoring ensures practitioners can deploy, configure, and maintain secure web services at scale. Cutting-edge features-including mutual TLS, TLS 1.3, post-quantum technologies, and delegated credentials-are explained in context, with practical deployment considerations and best practices highlighted for cloud-native and microservices architectures.
Designed for both security professionals and advanced practitioners, the book goes beyond mere implementation to address contemporary threats, regulatory compliance, and client-side security issues. In-depth discussions of attack mitigation, certificate lifecycle management, logging, and continuous security testing help readers navigate a constantly evolving threat landscape. Concluding with future trends, privacy enhancements, and ongoing research areas, "Secure Web Communication with HTTPS" stands as an indispensable reference for building, operating, and securing the next generation of web infrastructure.
