Transport Layer Security (TLS – SSL)

Video Notes

Crypto security between clients and servers on the Internet often rely on Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. Today’s protocols evolved from Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Many people still use the acronym SSL when referring to TLS.

Steven Levy’s book Crypto provides an entertaining history of public-key cryptography and SSL through 2001.

Transport Layer Security (called both TLS and SSL) combines public key secret sharing with a secret key cipher to protect a connection.
