Curriculum: TLS

This curriculum structures a TLS workshop from fundamentals to advanced operations and security response. It combines protocol understanding, certificate analysis, PKI, automation, web server and platform operations and incident response.

Curriculum Goal

After the full series you can analyze TLS connections, review certificates and chains, define secure policies, operate renewal and monitoring and handle key or certificate incidents.

01 / 09

Teaching Model

The workshop follows a repeating cycle:

text
Understand -> Create -> Verify -> Harden -> Automate -> Monitor -> Respond
Step Goal Typical Activity
Concept understand protocol, PKI and trust TLS 1.3, X.509, chain, trust store
Artifact create key, CSR and certificate OpenSSL config, SAN, KU/EKU
Verification check chain and hostname openssl verify, openssl x509, s_client
Hardening evaluate versions and cipher policy RFC 9325, NIST, server profiles
Automation model renewal and deployment ACME, cert-manager, secret rotation
Operations prepare monitoring and incident response expiration, CT, revocation, runbooks

Roles and Learning Paths

  • Developers focus on HTTPS clients, hostname validation, mTLS clients and debugging.
  • Administrators focus on web servers, trust stores, certificate chains and renewal.
  • Platform engineers focus on ingress, cert-manager, ACME, service mesh and secret distribution.
  • Security engineers focus on cipher policy, revocation, CT, HSTS, key protection and incident response.

Lab Strategy

All labs run locally without production keys. Each example creates its own local CA, test certificates and evidence files below work/.

Assessment Rubric

Criterion Basic Good Excellent
Correctness certificate can be read chain and SAN are checked protocol, cipher and trust impact is explained
Security no real keys in repo key protection and validity are reviewed revocation, rotation and IR are described
Operations manual check possible renewal and monitoring exist automated runbook with escalation exists
Architecture single service understood platform and mTLS boundaries clear PKI and trust model is reviewable

  • Security question: Which keys, certificates, chains, trust stores or headers would be critical?
  • Recovery: Describe whether reissue, renewal, revocation, trust-store repair, rollback or key rotation would be needed.

A110. mTLS

  • Task: review private-key protection and connect the observation explicitly to mTLS.
  • Evidence: Record at least one OpenSSL- or curl-related command, expected output and a boundary of that evidence.
  • Operations question: What would a wrong assumption cause in dev, staging, prod and CI?
  • Security question: Which keys, certificates, chains, trust stores or headers would be critical?
  • Recovery: Describe whether reissue, renewal, revocation, trust-store repair, rollback or key rotation would be needed.

A111. Monitoring

  • Task: validate complete chain and connect the observation explicitly to Monitoring.
  • Evidence: Record at least one OpenSSL- or curl-related command, expected output and a boundary of that evidence.

31 modules as one continuous learning path.

The sequence remains unchanged: from the lab skeleton through technical foundations and operating models to final troubleshooting. The technical directory names are deliberately preserved.

Orthevs – Engineering the foundation for what comes next.
