TLS (Transport Layer Security)
Definition
TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the cryptographic protocol that secures communications over the Internet, succeeding SSL. It ensures confidentiality (encryption), integrity and server authentication (via its certificate). TLS 1.3, the current version, mandates modern cipher suites and a handshake in a single round-trip. The padlock in the browser signals that a TLS connection is active. Certyneo enforces TLS 1.3 minimum on all its endpoints.
