TLSHTTPSsalauksen

TLSHTTPSsalauksen, often referred to as HTTPS encryption, is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser. This link ensures that all data transmitted between the server and the browser remains private and integral. It is built upon the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, which is the successor to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, though the term SSL is still commonly used.

When a user visits a website secured with HTTPS, their browser initiates a TLS handshake with the web server. During this handshake, the server presents a digital certificate to the browser, verifying its identity. The browser then checks the validity of this certificate. If the certificate is trusted, the browser and server negotiate a unique encryption key. This key is then used to encrypt all subsequent communication, transforming plain text data into an unreadable cipher text.

The primary benefits of TLSHTTPSsalauksen include confidentiality, ensuring that sensitive information like login credentials, credit card numbers, and personal data cannot be intercepted by malicious actors. It also provides integrity, guaranteeing that the data has not been tampered with during transit. Finally, authentication confirms that the user is communicating with the legitimate website and not an imposter. Websites employing TLSHTTPSsalauksen are typically indicated by a padlock icon in the browser's address bar and the use of "https://" at the beginning of the URL. This encryption is fundamental to secure online transactions and protecting user privacy.
