Security

A self-signed Certificate Authority (CA) is a simple way to generate SSL certificates for testing and development purposes. Create a self-signed CA and issue SSL certificates using Keytool.

The SSL certificate is a critical component of secure communication over the internet. It ensures that data exchanged between a client and a server is encrypted and secure. We will break down the components of an SSL certificate and explain how it works to protect sensitive information.

Hashing, salting, and peppering are techniques used to secure sensitive data, such as passwords, by making it difficult for attackers to reverse-engineer the original data. These techniques are commonly used in web applications to protect user credentials and other sensitive information.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that provides secure communication over the internet. It ensures that data exchanged between a client and a server is encrypted and secure.
