[edit] SSL

• An Introduction to OpenSSL - Part 1: Cryptographic Functions Deals primarily with the basic concepts of how to use symmetric/assymetric and ciphers, hashes, and signatures. Also a bit on the importance of unpredictability in randomness, and why you don't use gzip to seed your generator:)
• An Introduction to OpenSSL - Part 2: Cryptographic Functions Continued Installation and basic use of OpenSSL. Shows how to generate a key with genrsa, sign a key, encrypt a dataset using blowfish or rsa (mostly blowfish), and some examination of keys using the rsa and rsautl openssl commands.
• An Introduction to OpenSSL - Part 3: PKI- Public Key Infrastructure First half of the article is an explanation of what a PKI can be used for, followed by a brief description of X.509 naming (DNs, CNs, and that's about it). Then we generate a DSA root-CA, and sign and revoke a couple CSRs with it. There's also a CA setup script the author wrote.
