| TLS is the backbone of web security. We will explore using TLS with Rust, and CFSSL to create a certificate authority to issue self signed certificates & keys. We will also create a server and client that communicate securely over the network using tokio and upgrade insecure TcpStream to TLSStream, and work with TLSAcceptor and TLSConnector.
