| Transport Layer Security (%%TLS%%) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (%%SSL%%), are cryptographic protocols designed to provide communication security over the Internet. They use X.509 certificates and hence asymmetric cryptography to authenticate the counterparty with whom they are communicating, and to exchange a symmetric key. This session key is then used to encrypt data flowing between the parties.
