Changing the Java and SSL Presentation to CLCL

Yesterday I decided to create a new library for crypto tasks: the com ltsllc crypto library or clcl.  I now need to change my presentation to incorporate clcl.

I decided to keep the same basic structure; just make clcl more of a solution to Java and SSL's problems.  The basic tasks remain the same:

• Create a key pair
• Create a CA
• Create a CSR
• Create a certificate

To this I have added various file-oriented tasks:

• Load/store a key pair in a Java key store
• Load/store a key pair in a PEM file
• Load/store a certificate in a Java key store
• Load/store a certificate in a PEM file

PEM files have an additional challenge in that they may be password protected.

Then I have to document each class.  Then I have to created tests for each class. Finally, I need to create wiki entries for the library.

I've completed the first set of tasks, so it looks like I have my work cut out for me. 

Hosting Secure Servlets

My presentation is not long enough.

Specifically the main presentation only took 38 minutes last time (at DOSUG), so I need to add more sections to it.  I had hoped that the section on SSL and Java would be longer but in when I practice it it takes around 6 minutes.

For that reason, I am going to add a section on hosting secure (HTTPS) servlets using Jetty and Tomcat.  These two sections should make the presentation take up enough time.

Finish Java & SSL

I need to finish up the "Java & SSL" section of my presentation for the Denver/Boulder Cybersecurity Meetup that I'll be talking at on August 16th, so I'll be focusing on that today.  I need to create 4 slides: one on signing CSRs one detailing how to do this with openSSL, one detailing how to do this from Java and a summary for the section.
