Secure communication
Inter-device communication is a serious security concern. Between large project errors, such as Heartbleed, or more advanced attacks such as BEAST and CRIME, secure methods of communication over a network are becoming more important. It should be remembered, however that encryption should be applied as one part of a larger security strategy. The compromise of an endpoint means that an attacker no longer needs to break the encryption used, but is able to view and manipulate messages as they are processed by the system.
This chapter will review several features around configuring TLS to secure both internal and external resources, and will call out specific categories of systems that should be given specific attention.
