Hi,
In addition to the online material, are there any good books which we
can refer to understand openSSL better? Both conceptually as well as
from the API/code perspective.
We hear of the "Network Security with OpenSSL by John Viega" as one good
reference. But it was published in 2002. Any good new books which can be
used?
Well, the questions of the original poster weren't OpenSSL specific, but
targeted SSL/TLS in general, for this Eric Rescorla's book "SSL and TLS:
Building and Designing Secure Systems" is the better book. Sadly being
from the year 2000 it is somewhat outdated too, but nevertheless a good
introduction to SSL/TLS. For a description of the OpenSSL API afaik the
book from Viega et al. is still the most detailed book, despite being
somewhat outdated.
For newer versions of TLS (i.e. 1.1 and beyond) one should check newer
TLS books, e.g. the ones from Joshua Davies or Rolf Oppliger. Until now
i had none of the two books in my hands so i can't you tell more about
the books, but maybe a visit at Amazon or similar book traders will give
you at least a detailed content description.
Ciao,
Richard
