 Topics Include:

 Transport Layer Security (aka Secure Sockets Layer, TLS, and SSL) is
among the most widely deployed and least understood networking
protocols. It's a tiny but mighty part of most Internet applications,
and must be deployed in ways that violate conventional sysadmin
wisdom. 

 This talk takes you through: 


        How TLS works 
        What TLS provides, and what it doesn't 
        Assessing TLS configurations 
        The Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME)
protocol 
        Using Let's Encrypt to automatically maintain TLS
certificates 
        Online Certificate Status Protocol 
        Certificate Revocation 
        CAA, HSTS, and Certificate Transparency 
        Why you shouldn't run your own CA, and how to do it anyway


 Based on the new book "TLS Mastery."
