Introduction to DTLS(Datagram Transport Layer Security)
Secure communication has become a vital requirement on the Internet. Lots of information transferred through the Internet are sensitive data such as financial transactions, medical information, media streaming etc. To ensure security of data transferred on the Internet, a few secure protocols have been designed including SSL/TLS and IPsec.

Behavior of defer function in named return function
In Go, there is a special concept of named return value in function where a returned value can have name. For example, below is a named function in Go. func returnNamed() (i int) { i = 1 return } When the function returns, the return value i will have a value of 1. Also, Go has a concept of defer which will execute a function just before the calling function exits. This is similar to what finally block does in other languages such as Java. For example, a defer function can be func deferF...

Why isn't all internet traffic encrypted?
The biggest problem is that you must be able to verify that you're encrypting to the correct key. Without it, encryption would be practically useless, as anyone could perform a man-in-the-middle attack on the connection and remain undetected.In typical SSL/TLS, as well as other protocols using X.509, this verification is performed by "certification authorities", which are explicitly marked as "trusted" by web browsers and operating systems. Unfortunately, these CAs usual...
