Security - Technology
TLS
The security technology that protects and verifies connections used by the modern web
What's it for?
Protects information while it travels across the web and helps confirm it reached the intended service.
For example…
Secure websites encrypt information travelling between your browser and the site
TLS encrypts the traffic between a browser and an HTTPS website so passwords and payment details cannot be read easily while crossing the internet
Think of it like…
Private, verified phone line between you and the bank, instead of shouting account numbers across a café
