The TLS standard, however, does not specify how protocols add security with TLS; how to initiate TLS handshaking and how to interpret the authentication certificates exchanged are left to the judgment …

The TLS (Transport Layer Security) working group was established in 1996 to standardize a 'transport layer' security protocol. The basis for the work was SSL (Secure Socket Layer) v3.0 [RFC6101].

Application protocols using TLS MUST specify how TLS works with their application protocol, including how and when handshaking occurs, and how to do identity verification.

Over the years, the industry has witnessed several serious attacks on TLS and DTLS, including attacks on the most commonly used cipher suites and their modes of operation. This document provides the …

Aug 10, 2018 · TLS 1.3 updates the most important security protocol on the Internet, delivering superior privacy, security, and performance. Securely sending information over the Internet is a foundation of …

To recap, TLS 1.3 updates the most important security protocol on the Internet, delivering superior security, performance, and privacy. Here are a few key ways TLS 1.3 does this:

[RFC8844] Thomson, M. and E. Rescorla, "Unknown Key-Share Attacks on Uses of TLS with the Session Description Protocol (SDP)", RFC 8844, DOI 10.17487/RFC8844, January 2021, …

Apr 30, 2025 · This document describes a series of protocol extensions to the TLS 1.3 handshake that enables the binding of the TLS authentication key to a remote attestation session.

Dec 9, 2024 · TLS 1.3 use is increasing, and fixes some known deficiencies with TLS 1.2, such as removing error-prone cryptographic primitives and encrypting more of the traffic so that it is not …

The protocol is composed of two layers: the TLS Record Protocol and the TLS Handshake Protocol. At the lowest level, layered on top of some reliable transport protocol (e.g., TCP [TCP]), is the TLS …
