TLS 1.3

Definition

TLS 1.3, or Transport Layer Security version 1.3, is the latest cryptographic protocol designed to provide secure communication over a computer network. It ensures data privacy and integrity between two communicating applications, such as a web browser and a server. This version significantly improves upon its predecessors by enhancing security, simplifying the handshake process, and boosting performance. It is a foundational component for securing internet traffic and digital transactions.
