The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for enhancing security of communications between instances of clients and servers while enabling rotation of server certificates (e.g., X.509 certificates). The systems described herein involve updating a client list of server certificates (e.g., a certificate thumbprint) without reconfiguring or re-installing a client and/or server application, starting a new session (e.g., a hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) session), or deploying new code. The systems described herein may passively or actively update a client list of certificates to enable a client to security verify an identity of a server instance in a non-invasive way that boosts security from man-in-the-middle types of attacks.

Securely rotating a server certificate

A heated air moving device for drying wet surfaces and materials includes a housing. A controller, a first power module and plurality of sockets are coupled to the housing. The first power module is operationally coupled to the controller. The sockets are operationally coupled to the first power module and are configured to couple electrically powered equipment to the first power module. An intake is positioned in a respective opposing side of the housing. A nozzle, fluidically coupled to the internal space, is coupled to the housing. A fan and a heater are coupled to the housing and is positioned in an internal space defined by the housing. The fan is configured to draw air through the intake and expel the air through the nozzle. The heater is configured to heat the air such that air expelled from the housing dries an area proximate to the housing.
