Encryption Types - TLS
Transport Layer Security
SSL has been around for over a decade.
TLS was/is supposed to be the successor of and is based on SSL 3.0. It was developed
mainly so the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)
could have an open, community supported standard which could then be expanded
with other Internet standards. Unfortunately not much development has happened with TLS.
There isn't a world of difference between SSL and TLS. You will often see them supported
in the same applications (SSL/TLS). However, they do not inter operate, but TLS can transform
itself into SSL3 if necessary. Like SSL both explicit and implicit can be used with TLS.
SSL still remains the standard.
