Welcome back guys.
In this lecture we're going to talk about SSL what it is what we use it for how it works.
Also about CDM and why the SSL and the CDM comparability is so important.
Now first off what is SSL and what makes it so important then people are willing to pay for it.
Well let's start by defining what SSL means.
Now SSL means secure sockets layer and basically that's a fancy name for saying that it is a security
protection between the client and the server.
Right.
So it's going to be protecting the client and the server transfers.
Now the best way to really explain this in depth is to actually show you what I mean.
So let's say that we have our clients and the client could be your users using your web site it could
be you using a Web site you logging into your own Web site et cetera et cetera.
So let's say that you have a log in.
People have their password and their user name and everything.
So what they're gonna do is that they're going to log in and therefore send their username and their
password and it's going to be sent from them from their computer to the servers.
Right.
And then this server is going to fetch it and it's going to log them in.
Now here's the problem.
You see that when Mr. Hacker pops up in the picture which unfortunately has become a commonplace today.
He is going to be able to sue in on that thing.
He's going to be able to sue me in on the transfer itself between the client and between your web site
see your username and password and suddenly you or that client has been hacked and that is terrible.
Now you don't want this to happen especially not when you're having some form of e-commerce or if you're
handling sensitive information or just for your own log into your own Web site that can break your entire
Web site.
Now of course thankfully we have backup and everything but this is not something that you want to happen
especially not knowing that people might be sharing valuable information of their private information
with you with their log in credit card information et cetera et cetera.
So here is the solution guys.
Encryption and encryption is exactly what SSL offers.
So now when we're using SSL it looks like this since that we have our clients who is then going to be
logging into your Web site.
Right.
He's going to have his user name and it's password but not when it's sending the information towards
the server.
It's actually going to go through an encryption right.
This is the SSL encryption.
So that means that when the transfer is happening between declined and the server it's no longer going
to say user one two three pass from one to three right.
It's not going to say the user name and the actual password instead is going to look something like
this is just going to be random digits and numbers impossible to know what it actually says and what
it actually means.
So then it's going to be received by the server with this really strange information.
But thanks to the SSL that means that when the server gets this information is going to be decrypted
and that means that the server can get the real information and use it and log that claim in safely.
So now should Mr. Hacker appear.
Apparently there's only one hacker in the world in this story.
Should the hackers appear that means that they're going to assume in on that encryption.
Right.
And if they go ahead and grab that encryption they have no idea what it means and they can't do anything
valuable with it.
And this is why SSL is so important and it is so valuable for security for yourself for everyone who
uses it you need to have your Web site SSL secured.
OK.
So then let's move on to CDM.
Now the thing with the SSL encryption is that the encryption is going through the blue host service
because we're using blue host and we're getting a free SSL who's only going to work through the blue
host servers but with CDM you're going to be using a bunch of different servers and unless you're paying
for your SSL certificate you won't be able to apply that to the other service that you're using because
of all of these different servers they're going to be all around in the world right.
So that means that your website and your content material the people be visiting on your Web site they
will be uploaded in different parts of the world.
So for example if someone is in Norway in Europe or someone is in Australia or New Zealand et cetera
et cetera then there's going to be a closer server most likely then we're blue hostess and they're going
to be a faster page load they're going to get the content much faster they're going to have a much better
user experience but we needed to be encrypted still and the free SSL does not offer that with the CDM.
But here is the solution and this is why this is so perfect and that is CloudFlare now CloudFlare has
this really amazing offer they have.
Well for being a free citizen they are by far the widest and I would say best CDM offers out there right
now.
Now of course if you using Maxi design or something like that you can get more but the amazing thing
with cloud four is that it's completely free and free is always in the budget.
Right.
But they're not only offering an amazing CDM they're also offering a free SSL certificate.
So what that means is.
And because for getting an SSL from CloudFlare that means that we get to have an SSL a secure encryption
secure transfers while also using CDM.
And it's not going to cost us a thing.
So that is the amazing thing here.
So in this business story we get a beautiful solution to the whole problem.
So what we're gonna go ahead and do right now is in the next lecture we are gonna set up our CloudFlare
see and we're actually going to set up our CloudFlare SSL.
Get this party started and then make sure that our loading times are improving and our server response
time is improving.
OK.
So see in the next lecture guys.
