What is client side SSL?
Contrary to Server certificates (SSL certificates), Client certificates are used to validate the identity of a client (user). The user, in this case, might be a website user or an email user. Simply put, it works as a password, but without any intervention/input from the user.
What are the types of server side encryption?
Server-Side Encryption with Amazon S3-Managed Keys (SSE-S3) As an additional safeguard, it encrypts the key itself with a master key that it regularly rotates. Amazon S3 server-side encryption uses one of the strongest block ciphers available, 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), to encrypt your data.
Can you use SSL without a server side certificate?
SSL/TLS can also be used without certificates at all, i.e. not even at the server side. In this case authentication is done with other methods, like a secret key pre-shared between client and server (PSK). These methods are rarely used and browsers don’t support these.
How are client certificate and server certificate alike?
Client certificate and server certificate both represents their own importance hence, both cannot replace each other. Both the certificates do not owe any similarity except the word “certificate” and they both have keys named as public and private keys.
When do you generate a session key in SSL?
A session key is like a password that someone resets every time they log in. In SSL / TLS, the two communicating parties (the client and the server) generate 4 session keys at the start of any communication session, during the TLS handshake.
