TLS/SSL for Web Services

Sun, 19 Apr 2015 21:40:00 +0000

TLS protection should be a standard security policy these days. It’s common place for servers hosting web pages and web services.

Certificates are inexpensive and relatively simple to setup and use. The basic outline is that you generate a private key on your server, pass this to the CA. They will use this to generate the Certificate and public key. They send you back the certificate and publish the public key on their servers. The certificate, private key and the CA’s authority chain certificates are installed on your server and bound/configures to be utilised within the the webservice in question.

A 3rd party browser pointed to your https URL will request the certificate, which it uses to lookup the host servers details with the CA and obtain the public key. The public key is then used by the browser to lock the session key that it generates. Only the specific private key can unlock and obtain the session key that was locked by the related public key. Which is what the host server does and then both machines have identical keys to use for all further communication in that session.

Here are the main elements and terms you may come across when setting up SSL protection using a Certificate Authority (CA)
