👉 SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) engineering is the practice of implementing and maintaining protocols and technologies that ensure secure communication over the internet by encrypting data between a client and a server. This involves configuring servers to use SSL/TLS certificates, which authenticate the server's identity and enable end-to-end encryption of data in transit. SSL engineers also manage key exchange mechanisms, certificate lifecycles, and ensure compliance with security standards to protect sensitive information from eavesdropping, tampering, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Effective SSL engineering requires a deep understanding of cryptographic algorithms, network protocols, and security best practices to maintain robust and reliable secure connections.
