COMPLETING THE LAB
== INVESTIGATION 1: GENERATING A SELF-SIGNED CERTIFICATE ==
According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security), '''Transport Layer Security''' (TLS) and its predecessor, '''Secure Sockets Layer''' (SSL), both of which are frequently referred to as 'SSL', are cryptographic protocols designed to provide communications security over a computer network.
Normally (in production), you would need to pay a "certificate authority" to issue a '''certificate''' for you. That is essentially '''a "signed" public key''' that will tell strangers on the internet that your server is really yours (i.e. the certificate authority says so). There is an obvious problem with the previous statement but that is mainly how public key encryption works on the Internet today.
