Engineering a New Economy

Learn how we should operate the economy to reverse the trend of continuously increasing debt for the government and American households, and return prosperity to the poor and middle classes. All federal taxes should be eliminated and replaced by a simple low-percentage sales tax which eventually can be reduced to just 2%!

Transport Layer Security

TLS, formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), is the technology that keeps the Internet secure. If you are developing TLS client software, you can verify that it works correctly by connecting to my test server:

https://www.mikestoolbox.net
TLS versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2.
1024-bit Diffie-Hellman parameters.
Asks for a client certificate.

https://www.mikestoolbox.org
TLS versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2.
2048-bit Diffie-Hellman parameters.

TLS Versions and Extensions supported by both servers:

TLS Version 1.0   RFC 2246
TLS Version 1.1 RFC 4346
TLS Version 1.2 RFC 5246
   
Server Name Indication RFC 4366
Maximum Fragment Length RFC 4366
Truncated HMAC RFC 4366
Session Tickets RFC 5077
Signature Algorithms RFC 5246
Renegotiation Info RFC 5746
Encrypt-then-MAC RFC 7366
TLS Fallback Prevention SCSV RFC 7507
ClientHello Padding RFC 7685
GREASE RFC 8701

Note: you will get security warnings if you connect with a normal browser since the server uses its own root certificate.
