Learning objectives

  • Master OpenSSL commands to generate professional keys and certificates
  • Set up internal corporate certification authorities
  • Implement SSL/TLS encryption in applications and secure servers
  • Analyze secure protocols and debug with OpenSSL tools
  • Optimize PKI management for production certification skills
  • Develop OpenSSL automation scripts for efficient enterprise workflows

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Program

Module 1OpenSSL Fundamentals: Key Generation, CSR and Certificates (CLI, Secure Configs)

Dive into OpenSSL installation and creation of a dedicated test environment, generate secure private RSA/EC key pairs using openssl genpkey and genrsa commands, produce professional CSR requests with openssl req including SAN extensions, sign self-signed certificates for immediate servers, perform verifications with openssl x509 and practical exercises on real business cases, deliverable: functional and documented certificate kit for rapid deployment.

Module 2OpenSSL CA Management: PKI Hierarchy and Certificate Signing (CA.pl, CRL/OCSP Verifications)

Create a root and intermediate certification authority using OpenSSL's CA.pl scripts, configure CA index and serial for scalable production, sign client/server certificates with strict policies and critical extensions, implement revocation via CRL and OCSP for enhanced security, test trust chains on server simulators, apply to enterprise scenarios like secure VPNs, produce complete audit reports and certificate rotation plans, transforming your skills into an immediate certifiable asset.

Module 3Advanced OpenSSL Applications: TLS s_server/client, Scripts and Integration (Automation, Debugging)

Debug TLS 1.3 protocols with openssl s_server and s_client to analyze handshakes and optimal cipher suites, integrate encryption into Bash/Python scripts calling OpenSSL libcrypto, configure Perfect Forward Secrecy and HSTS for enterprise web apps, perform simulated MITM attacks and countermeasures, automate certificate renewals via secure cron jobs, deploy on Docker containers with secrets management, conclude with red thread project: complete PKI deployed and tested, ready for certifiable production.

Evaluation method

  • Multiple-choice quiz to validate acquired knowledge at the end of the training
  • Continuous evaluation through practical OpenSSL exercises
  • Presentation of the PKI red thread project to the trainer

Learning method

  • Courses led by an active OpenSSL expert trainer
  • Practical exercises on real enterprise security cases
  • Progressive red thread project for complete PKI
  • Complete course materials provided to each participant

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training OpenSSL - Mastering Certificates and SSL/TLS Encryption program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training OpenSSL - Mastering Certificates and SSL/TLS Encryption program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

* contact us for remote delivery feasibility** ratio varies depending on the program

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training OpenSSL - Mastering Certificates and SSL/TLS Encryption program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
