Certificates/Web Security Meeting
Your connection is not private??? Why?
Friday, November 11, 2022 · 5 - 7 PM
Have you wondered how websites like myUMBC get the "green lock" icon? What exactly protects your Web data from being snooped upon? What are the problems facing this largely-unseen (yet crucial) feature of the modern Internet?
In this week's meeting we will take a look at certificates, SSL, TLS, and some of the ways that we (attempt to) keep our data safe on the Internet. Security is a huge concern for many users and system administrators alike, so we hope to briefly introduce the important concepts to this vital system service. Plus, it could help to solve problems you may encounter as savvy Internet users!
Meet us at 5PM in ILSB 237, or online at https://meet.jit.si/SADClubFall2022!
