SSL vs TLS

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols used to provide secure communication over a network. They work by encrypting data transmitted between a client (like a web browser) and a server, ensuring confidentiality and integrity. TLS is essentially the successor to SSL, offering enhanced security features and addressing vulnerabilities present in older versions of SSL. While SSL is largely deprecated, the terms are often used interchangeably, though technically, modern secure communication relies on TLS.
