An Internet security protocol based on SSL.
TLS guarantees privacy and data integrity beween client/server applications communicating over the Internet. TLS is the successor protocol to Secure Socket Layer [SSL], created by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for general communication authentication and encryption over TCP/IP networks.
An IETF standard in RFC 2246 for eliciting secure (i.e. encrypted) connections (e.g. to web services) across a public network such as the Internet. Formerly known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
(Acronym – TLS) The more secure successor to SSL. The TLS protocol provides communications privacy over the Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. TLS is based on the SSL protocol, but the two systems are not interoperable. See also " Secure Sockets Layer".
is a protocol that guarantees privacy and data integrity between client/server applications communicating over the Internet.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that ensures privacy between communicating applications and their users on the Internet. When a server and client communicate, TLS can be used with certificates to ensure that no third party may eavesdrop or tamper with any message. TLS is the successor to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
A protocol used for general communication authentication and encryption over TCP/IP networks.
The successor to SSL, a protocol for establishing secure channels over a reliable transport, using a standard X.509 Public Key Infrastructure for authenticating machines. The protocol is standardized by the IETF. See Also: Secure Socket Layer
A protocol providing communications privacy over the Internet. The protocol enables client/server applications to communicate in a way that prevents eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.
Security protocol that provides data integrity and privacy between communicating applications. The protocol contains two layers, the TLS Record and TLS Handshake protocols. The TLS Record protocol is layered on a transport protocol, such as TCP, and checks the connection for privacy and reliability. The TLS Handshake protocol is encapsulated in the TLS Record protocol and allows mutual authentication of the server and client through an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys. Abbreviated as TLS.
A cryptographic protocols which provide secure communications on the Internet. Is likely to supersede SSL, but in practice TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 are virtually identical.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) - A protocol that provides communications privacy and security between two applications communicating over a network. TLS provides a secure channel by encrypting communications and enables clients to authenticate servers or, optionally, servers to authenticate clients.
A protocol that helps provide communications privacy and security between two applications communicating over a network. It also helps enable clients to authenticate servers or, optionally, helps enable servers to authenticate clients.
(TLS) The successor protocol to SSL, created by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for general communication authentication and encryption over TCP/IP networks. TLS version 1 and is nearly identical with SSL version 3. See: SSL/TLS Encryption
A protocol for authentication and encryption over TCP/IP networks, including the Web. TLS is the successor to SSL version 3.0 and is nearly identical. It is being standardizing by the Internet Engineering Task Force.
A standard protocol that is used to provide secure Web communications on the Internet or intranets. It enables clients to authenticate servers or, optionally, servers to authenticate clients. It also provides a secure channel by encrypting communications. TLS is the latest and a more secure version of the SSL protocol. See also: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL); authentication; protocol
The likely new standard for Secure Socket Layer (SSL) which provides secure key exchange between an Internet Browser and Internet Server. The TLS protocol based on SSL v3 was published by an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) working group in January 1999. Microsoft and Netscape both support TLS. The differences between SSL v3 and TLS version 1 are minor.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols which provide secure communications on the Internet for such things as web browsing, e-mail, Internet faxing, and other data transfers. There are slight differences between SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0, but the protocol remains substantially the same. The term "TLS" as used here applies to both protocols unless clarified by context.
