SSL is the direct predecessor of another protocol called TLS (Transport Layer Security). In 1999 the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposed an update to SSL. Since this update was being developed by the IETF and Netscape was no longer involved, the name was changed to TLS. The differences between the final version of SSL … Read more
There are several different types of SSL certificates. One certificate can apply to a single website or several websites, depending on the type: Single-domain: A single-domain SSL certificate applies to only one domain (a “domain” is the name of a website, like www.cloudflare.com). Wildcard: Like a single-domain certificate, a wildcard SSL certificate applies to only one domain. However, … Read more
Originally, data on the Web was transmitted in plaintext that anyone could read if they intercepted the message. For example, if a consumer visited a shopping website, placed an order, and entered their credit card number on the website, that credit card number would travel across the Internet unconcealed. SSL was created to correct this … Read more
Technically, anyone can create their own SSL certificate by generating a public-private key pairing and including all the information mentioned above. Such certificates are called self-signed certificates because the digital signature used, instead of being from a CA, would be the website’s own private key. But with self-signed certificates, there’s no outside authority to verify … Read more
SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is an encryption-based Internet security protocol. It was first developed by Netscape in 1995 for the purpose of ensuring privacy, authentication, and data integrity in Internet communications. SSL is the predecessor to the modern TLS encryption used today. A website that implements SSL/TLS has “HTTPS” in its URL instead of “HTTP.”
A Test Scenario is a statement describing the functionality of the application to be tested. It is used for end to end testing of a feature and is generally derived from the use cases. Test scenarios can serve as the basis for lower-level test case creation. A single test scenario can cover one or more test cases.
A TEST CASE is a set of actions executed to verify a particular feature or functionality of your software application. A Test Case contains test steps, test data, precondition, postcondition developed for specific test scenario to verify any requirement.
It’s not been an easy year for anyone, so to brighten things up a bit we’ve collected together our favourite jokes with a technology twist. In terms of quality control, don’t worry, they’re all as clean as a whistle and definitely safe for work. One or two might even raise a smile. Three statisticians go … Read more
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have demonstrated that small quantum computers can be used to solve problems with real applications. Quantum computers hold the potential to exponentially expand computing power, transforming certain sectors such as cyber security and research. In 2019, Google researchers announced that they had reached “quantum supremacy”: a quantum computer … Read more
