Chapter 15. Secure Web Protocols

Chapter 10, "Protecting Data in Transit," focused on how Secure Shell (ssh) prevents nosey users (local or remote) from capturing your system passwords with sniffers. This greatly enhances your internal network's security.

However, if you deploy your Linux system as an electronic commerce server, you must also provide your customers and support staff with secure connections from their Web clients in the outside world to your server. That's what this chapter is all about.
