What is TLS?
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a widely adopted security protocol designed to provide privacy and data integrity between communicating applications. It's used for secure communication over a network, commonly encrypting traffic between web browsers and web servers (HTTPS), email clients and servers (SMTPS, IMAPS, POP3S), and other applications. TLS ensures that data is encrypted in transit, preventing eavesdropping and tampering.
What other technologies are related to TLS?
TLS Competitor Technologies
SSL
SSL is a predecessor to TLS and serves a similar purpose of providing secure communication over a network. It is effectively an older version of the same technology.
SSH
SSH is an alternative protocol that provides secure communication, primarily used for remote login and command execution. While it serves a different primary function, it competes with TLS in securing network traffic.
IPSEC
IPsec provides secure communication at the network layer, offering an alternative to TLS, which operates at the transport layer. They both aim to secure network traffic but use different approaches and are suitable for different scenarios.
DTLS
DTLS is a variant of TLS designed to secure UDP-based communications. It serves the same purpose as TLS but is tailored for connectionless protocols.
SRTP
SRTP is designed to provide secure real-time transport of audio and video, competing with TLS in certain specific applications such as VoIP.
MACsec
MACsec is a Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) security technology that provides hop-by-hop encryption on Ethernet links. While it operates at a different layer than TLS, it serves a similar purpose of securing communication and thus could be considered a competitor in certain scenarios.
TLS Complementary Technologies
HTTP
HTTP is the underlying protocol that TLS secures. HTTPS (HTTP over TLS/SSL) is a common application.
PKI
PKI provides the framework for digital certificates, which are essential for TLS to establish trust and authenticate servers and clients.
HTTPS
HTTPS is HTTP secured by TLS/SSL. It relies on TLS to provide encryption and authentication.
