Using TLS and SSL for Secure node-ipc

document in progress

Still working on this. If you look at the examples and can help, please jump right in.

important cli commands

  • openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048
  • openssl req -new -x509 -key server.key -out server.pub -days 365 -config openssl.cnf
  • openssl req -new -x509 -key client.key -out client.pub -days 365 -config openssl.cnf
  • talk about openssl.cnf edits

using the local node-ipc certs

This should ONLY be done on your local machine. Both the public and private certs are available here on git hub, so its not a good idea to use them over the network.

talk about security

  • keep private keys private, don't share

talk about using hostname not ip for best security validation of certs

examples

  • basic with default keys
  • specikfying keys
  • encrypted but venerable to man in the middle
  • two way authenticated pub private
