Chapter 14. Secure HTTP

The previous three chapters reviewed features of HTTP that help identify and authenticate users. These techniques work well in a friendly community, but they aren't strong enough to protect important transactions from a community of motivated and hostile adversaries.

This chapter presents a more complicated and aggressive technology to secure HTTP transactions from eavesdropping and tampering, using digital cryptography.
