A port is a virtual numbered address that’s used as a communication endpoint by transport layer protocols like UDP (user diagram protocol) or TCP (transmission control protocol). Network ports direct traffic to the right places — i.e., they help the devices involved identify which service is being requested. For instance, the port that’s responsible for …
An SSL certificate helps to secure the communication between a client (such as a web browser) and a server (such as a website). If the certificate has expired, it can no longer be trusted to secure this communication, and an attacker may be able to intercept and view sensitive information being transmitted between the client …
An SSL cipher, or an SSL cipher suite, is a set of algorithms or a set of instructions/steps that helps to establish a secure connection between two entities. SSL cipher suites determine the method through which a secure connection will take place between both entities. This communication could be taking place through HTTPS, FTPS, SMTP, …
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection is a connection that provides secure communications on the Internet for such things as web browsing, e-mail, instant messaging, and other data transfers. Although SSL was replaced by an updated protocol called TLS (Transport Layer Security) some time ago, “SSL” is still a commonly used term for this technology. How …
An SSL/TLS certificate is a file installed on a website’s origin server. It’s simply a data file containing the public key and the identity of the website owner, along with other information. Without a server certificate, a website’s traffic can’t be encrypted with TLS. SSL/TLS certificates are the most popular type of X.509 certificate. SSL/TLS …
We have two methods to use update-ca-trust or trust anchor to add a CA certificate on Linux. We need to install the ca-certificates package first with the command yum install ca-certificates. Understanding Root CA certificate SSL certificates operate on a structure called the certificate chain — a network of certificates starting back at the issuing …
“Unable to get Local Issuer Certificate” is a common SSL certificate error. It is related to the incomplete certificate chain such as (most commonly) missing the intermediate certificate or missing the root certificate authority (CA) certificate in its trusted certificate store. The fix is to ensure the entire certificate chain is present. To fix the …
An epic is often a larger user story that is broken down into smaller stories in order to be worked on. The important thing to note about epics is that they aren’t just an agile tool. Teams of all work styles can benefit from the epic in Jira because an epic can be a feature, …
Server certificates are known as SSL/TLS certificates. It verifies and validates the identity of the certificate holder or applicant before authenticating it. It also establishes an encrypted communication channel and switches the protocol to HTTPS once installed on the server. What is SSL certificate Server certificates are the most popular type of X.509 certificate. SSL/TLS …
certificate chain is an ordered list of certificates, containing an SSL/TLS Certificate and Certificate Authority (CA) Certificates, that enable the receiver to verify that the sender and all CA’s are trustworthy. The chain or path begins with the SSL/TLS certificate, and each certificate in the chain is signed by the entity identified by the next …
