Request for Input: ApacheCon SSL Training

Sander Temme <sctemme@xxxxxxxxxx> · Sun, 18 Mar 2007 23:04:10 -0700

Dear list,

As I prepare my training session title "Practical SSL Implementation  

with Apache" for the upcoming ApacheCon EU conference, I would like  

to take a moment and request your feedback.

http://www.eu.apachecon.com/program/talk/120

If you were to attend a half day training session on SSL and Apache,  

what would you like to see covered?  I will be discussing, among  

other topics:

*) Configuring Apache httpd as an SSL server, starting with a
   practical configuration and building from there
*) A concise discussion of the cryptography behind the whole
   thing, to provide context
*) Working with Certificate Authorities and Public Key Infrastructure
*) Client-side Certificate Authentication
*) Integration of SSL with application code

In doing my research I see that there is a lot of half-valid, well  

hidden information out there on the various topics and I'd love to  

present it all in one place at the training.  I'll have to see what I  

can squeeze into a half day--I could talk for days about this stuff  

and still not be done.  Any recommendations regarding the material or  

where the emphasis should be?  Holes I need to fill?  Suggestions are  

welcome privately or to the list.

Thanks,

Sander
