TLS

« Back to Glossary Index

The Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the successor of SSL. It is a protocol for securing exchanges over computer networks, particularly the Internet.

The TLS protocol is not structurally different from SSL version 3, but changes in the use of functions for quickly recognizing files or passwords – the hash functions – mean that the two protocols are not directly interoperable.
