What is SSL / TLS?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and its successor TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols designed to provide secure communication over a network. They work by encrypting the data exchanged between a client and a server, verifying the identity of the parties involved through digital certificates. TLS is the modern standard and is used to secure HTTPS connections, email, and many other internet services.
