TLS 1.3 – Internet Security Gets a Boost
Today marks the formal publication of an overhaul of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS is an Internet standard used to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery for various Internet applications. It is probably the most widely deployed network security standard in the world. Often indicated by the small green padlock in a web browser’s address bar1, TLS is used in financial transactions, by medical institutions, and to ensure secure connections in a wide variety of other applications.
