SSL and TLS are similar technologies because they share a codebase, though one is better than the other. In fact, one is dead and the other still reigns supreme to the time this day. By end of this ...

After a multi-year competition, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) selected a suite of algorithms for standardization. For key exchange, the primary choice is the ...

Thanks to Google and Facebook, awareness of Transport Layer Security (TLS), formerly known a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology, is now fairly high. In fact, adoption of TLS/SSL is so ...

Stephen A. Thomas is chief architect for Wave7 Optics. He has been actively involved in TCP/IP standards development for nearly two decades, and has co-authored and contributed to numerous Internet ...

The adoption of devices for the internet of things will depend very much on their communication to the Internet being secure. There are many aspects to being able to secure connections between client ...

For admins, although the technology behind SSL/TLS definitely falls into the realm of cryptography (the software equivalent of rocket science), the cost and effort of implementation are well within ...

SSL and its descendent, TLS, are protocols that encrypt internet traffic, making secure internet communication and ecommerce possible. The decades-long history of these protocols has been marked by ...

Healthcare organizations rely on cryptography-based security, but the infrastructure faces radical change with the rise of ...

A project that aims to increase the use of encryption by giving away free SSL/TLS certificates has issued its first one, marking the start of its beta program. The project, called Let’s Encrypt, is ...

There is a feature supported by the SSL/TLS encryption standard and used by most of the major browsers that leaks enough information about encrypted sessions to enable attackers decrypt users’ ...
