OpenSSL Cookbook is being updated soon

2020-11-06 Thread Ivan Ristic
Apologies for starting a new thread, but I had no previous message to reply
to. Matt alerted me to the mention of OpenSSL Cookbook here and I was
previously not on this list.

I am committed to maintaining OpenSSL Cookbook. In fact, we've just
completed the 3rd edition. This time I had Matt help me as a technical
reviewer and that led to many improvements. We're currently updating our
web site and will release the new edition as soon as that's done.

The 3rd edition required many changes because of TLS 1.3. Now that it's
done, going forward I will aim for continuous updates as needed.

Additionally, we wish to make the content more useful by splitting it into
smaller chunks. At the moment, it's presented as one page per chapter,
which is not ideal. We will look into this at some point after the release.

If you'd like to see the 3rd edition before it's officially out, you can
actually get it immediately by registering for an account here
https://www.feistyduck.com/account/register If you already have an account,
it should be offered to you at the bottom of the library page
https://www.feistyduck.com/library/ I would certainly welcome any thoughts
about the content and the possible improvements. The scope is generally
command-line usage.

I would recommend first approaching John Viega, Matt Messier, Pravir
Chandra et al to update
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/network-security-with/059600270X/
based on their reader's feedback since this book hasn't been updated
since 2002.

Ivan Ristić would also add value as
https://www.feistyduck.com/books/openssl-cookbook/ was recently
updated (March 2016) and teaches
https://www.feistyduck.com/training/the-best-ssl-and-tls-training-in-the-world
too.
