TLS HandsOn

This repository was created for a hands-on session.

TL;DR

This repository is supporting material to learn more about certificates, openssl, and how chains of trust work.

Before starting with the hands-on, we recommend preforming the docker build step below, as it can take a couple of minutes.

Docker

This repository requires docker to be installed to launch the required tooling. In order to build the image, run:

docker build -t shell:latest .

In order to run the shell, use:

docker run --rm -e PS1 -v .:/app/host:rw -it shell:latest

Your current working directory will be available under /app/host in the Docker container, so that you can edit files in the repository and have access to them inside the container.

Building

In order to build the Java application, spawn a shell via Docker:

docker run --name shell -e PS1 -p 8443:8443 -v .:/app/host:rw -it shell:latest

If the Docker container already exists (see docker ps -a), you can start and attach it:

docker start shell
docker attach shell

Then go to the shared directory and compile the project:

cd host
mvn clean compile

Material

This repository contains two markdown files which serve as tutorials:

• 01_create_chain_of_trust.md
• 02_verify_chain_of_trust.md

Simply navigate to these files and follow the tutorials. Make sure you understand why you perform each step.
