Transport Layer Security is a cryptographic protocol that provides security for network applications. It is primarily used to protect data during transmission between clients and servers.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and open related building blocks.
Technical building block: can be automated, integrated, or operated.
Concrete cog in the system that works inside larger relationships.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that authenticates connections, encrypts them, and protects data from alteration.
TLS emerged in the IETF as a standardized successor to Netscape SSL; TLS 1.0 appeared in RFC 2246 in 1999.
During the handshake, client and server agree on algorithms, verify certificates, and create session keys.
A central aspect of handshake.
A central aspect of certificate.
A central aspect of encryption.
TLS protects data on the network path and underpins HTTPS; obsolete versions and compromised endpoints remain risks.
