TLSsalaukset

TLSsalaukset refers to the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) for encryption and secure communication over computer networks. TLS is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network. It is the successor to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, and its primary purpose is to ensure that data transmitted between two communicating applications remains private and free from tampering.

The TLS protocol works by establishing a secure connection between a client, such as a web browser, and a server. This involves a handshake process where the client and server authenticate each other and agree on cryptographic algorithms and keys. Once the handshake is complete, all subsequent data exchanged between the client and server is encrypted, making it unreadable to anyone who might intercept it.

Common applications of TLSsalaukset include securing web traffic (HTTPS), protecting email communications (SMTPS, IMAPS, POP3S), and ensuring the integrity of VPN connections. The widespread adoption of TLS has significantly improved online security and privacy, helping to protect sensitive information like passwords, credit card numbers, and personal data from unauthorized access. The protocol is continuously updated to address new security vulnerabilities and improve its overall effectiveness.
