TLS stands for "Transport Layer Security," a cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication over the internet. It is the successor to SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol and establishes a secure connection between a client and server over an insecure network.
TLS combines symmetric and asymmetric encryption to provide data confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. When a client connects to a server over TLS, the client and server perform a handshake to establish a secure connection. During this handshake, the client and server agree on a cipher suite for encryption, exchange certificates for authentication, and generate session keys to encrypt and decrypt data.
TLS is widely used to secure web traffic, email communication, and other network protocols. It is considered one of the most important security protocols on the internet today.
