SSL

SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
* Using Digital Certificate, Digital Signature, Public Key Encryption, Hash (Message Digest)
* Instead of encrypting the sender's original text, only the session key generated by the sender is encrypted by the receiver's public key.
* The session key is valid throughout a session and not any longer.
* SSL is proposed by Netscape, Inc.
* https is actually http enhanced by SSL. https uses port 443 while http uses port 80.

Lab SSL

1. Try Yam membership enrollment
for using SSL encrypted Internet communications.
2. Note the lock at the lower right corner is secured when SSL is enabled.
3. Click the lock icon and a message window should pop up.
4. What kind of encryption is used in this SSL? How many bits are there in the encryption key?
5. Who issued the certificate you are seeing? (Who is the certificate authority, CA, for this website?)
6. Until when is the certificate valid?
7. What kind(s) of hash is/are used in the CA's digital signature?
8. How many bits are there in the hash(es)?

Lab PGP II

1. Sign a file. Send this file to Friend A & Friend B. Verify that both of them can read your signature.

2. Sign a file and encrypt this file and signature using A's public key. Email it to A and B. What will happen?

Lab PGP

1. Download PGP Desktop 9.0
2. Install PGP using

In the process of installation assistant, generate your key pairs and allow your public key to go public at keyserver.pgp.com so that your friends can use it.

3 Check your email. Record your public key and the finger print at the Comment below this blog posting. What's the key length PGP generates?

4. Use your Friend A's public key to encrypt a file, using PGP zip. Email this encrypted file to your Friend A and Friend B. Verify that A can decrypt the file while B cannot.

You are invited to do Part II of Lab PGP.

Secrect Key

*a key for encryption is also for decryption
*fast encryption and decryption
*problem with key distribution
*problem with keeping many keys

Public Key

*private key and public key
*public usually posted on an open directory
*private key must be kept in absolute private to oneself
*good for encryption and signature

Hash function
*fixed length of 128 or 256 bits
*fingerprint


Digital Signature
* privated key encrypted fingerprint of a plain text
*transmitted along with the plain text for verification

Man-in-the-middle attack

Digital Certificate
* Public Key signed with Certificate Authority

Lab Web Service II

"we make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give"

Test Drive a web service
1. Click Stock Quote and play with this operation
2. Enter IBM as symbol and see what you get in the result.

3. Copy the response XML from this web service, which is a SOAP message, into a text file called quote.xml and prepare for transformation as described in the next step.

4. Based on
the method of Lab XSLT,
write an XSLT and transform the result XML into an HTML.
