Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol historically used to provide confidentiality, integrity and authentication for networked communications. It establishes encrypted channels between clients and servers and defines handshakes, certificates and cipher negotiation. Modern deployments use TLS, the successor standard, while SSL itself is deprecated.
