TLSSSLyhteyksiä

TLSSSLyhteyksiä, a Finnish term, directly translates to "TLS/SSL connections". This refers to the cryptographic protocols used to establish secure communication channels over a computer network, most commonly the internet. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the successor to SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), although the term SSL is still often used colloquially.

These protocols work by encrypting the data exchanged between a client (like a web browser) and a server (like a website). This encryption ensures that any information transmitted, such as login credentials, credit card numbers, or personal messages, cannot be intercepted and read by unauthorized parties.

The process of establishing a TLSSSLyhteyksiä typically involves a "handshake" where the client and server exchange digital certificates to verify each other's identities and agree on encryption algorithms. Once the handshake is complete, a secure, encrypted connection is established.

Websites that utilize TLSSSLyhteyksiä are usually indicated by a padlock icon in the browser's address bar and the use of "https://" at the beginning of the URL, rather than "http://". This provides users with a visual cue that their connection to the website is secure. The adoption of TLSSSLyhteyksiä is crucial for protecting sensitive data and maintaining trust in online communications.
