Network Security with OpenSSL is a technical security guide by John Viega, Matt Messier, and Pravir Chandra, published by O'Reilly in 2002. It explains how to use OpenSSL as both a practical toolkit and a foundation for understanding secure networked software. Rather than treating encryption as a black box, the book connects core cryptographic concepts to the operational tasks developers and administrators face: generating keys, requesting and managing certificates, operating a certification authority, configuring secure connections, and incorporating OpenSSL into programs. Its scope includes the command line utility, the C library, and interfaces or examples relevant to Perl, Python, and PHP. The book belongs to an earlier stage of SSL and TLS practice, so its version-specific recommendations cannot be assumed safe for a current deployment. Its enduring purpose is educational: to show the relationships among cryptographic primitives, identity verification, protocol protection, and implementation choices. That combination makes it a useful historical and conceptual reference, provided readers validate all operational guidance against modern OpenSSL and TLS documentation.
