  27. What an SSL certificate is NOT: 34 ➡ SSL certificate

    (but a X.509 certificate) ➡ Automatically secure ➡ Automatically trustworthy ➡ In any way better self-signed certificates ➡ Cheap
  28. What an SSL certificate is: 35 ➡ The best way

    (but not perfect) to prove authenticity ➡ A way to bootstrap encrypted communication ➡ Misleading ➡ (Too) Expensive
  29. 36

  31. 37 ➡ X.509 Certificate ➡ Owner info (who is this

    owner) ➡ Domain info (for which domain(s) is this certificate valid)
  32. 37 ➡ X.509 Certificate ➡ Owner info (who is this

    owner) ➡ Domain info (for which domain(s) is this certificate valid) ➡ Expiry info (from when to when is this certificate valid)

  34. ➡ (Root) Certificate Authorities ➡ They are built into your

    browser / OS and you will automatically trust them. 41

  36. 43 ➡ X.509 certificates are used to authenticate the server.

    ➡ Servers can ask clients to authenticate themselves as well.

  49. ➡ TLS has overhead in computation and transfers. But definitely

    worth it. ➡ Some ciphersuites are better, but slower ➡ Speed / Security compromise ➡ (try: “openssl speed”) 55
