Abstract

Over the years, a lot of internet users had been victims of telemarketing, identity theft, transaction fraud, piracy and hacking due to the unsecured website and little or no knowledge about cybercrime, the vulnerability of the system and unsecured websites. Cybercrime has been a tool for privacy violation whereby an individual or internet user loses his private information to attackers through stalking, fraud, identity theft, or scam. Network security is a vital viewpoint in system networking and a major instrument in curbing cybercrimes most especially online transaction fraud. A secured website must have its information encrypted so that information cannot be accessed by unauthorized users and authentication must be ensured to improve computer user’s trust. Most universities do find it difficult in teaching and illustrating the process of setting up a Secure Socket Layer or how to generate a self –signed certificate to the students in the laboratory. Educators find it hard in setting up a network security workshop for students to have knowledge about the real-life network and information attacks and implementation of network security principles. This paper, however, discusses the overview of network security and the public key infrastructure (PKI) and illustrates the process or steps taken in setting up a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate for a localhost website, running on Apache web server by demonstrating this process on a large scale network and cloud testbed called Deterlab
