 TLS- Transport To bush-hammer Security 

Definition

Protocol of safety usually used on Internet.

Description

Protocol TLS (Transport To bush-hammer Security) is the successor of SSL v3. It presents differences with SSL, which returns incompatible SSL and TLS. Nevertheless, this incompatibility does not appear, because the implementations of TLS agree to rock towards SSL v3 when the partner does not support TLS. Another difference between SSL and TLS is that TLS is an official standard of IETF (RFC 2246), whereas SSL is a protocol owner of Netscape. TLS allows the authentification of the parts and the data confidentiality on Internet; it also makes it possible to detect the corruption of the data; moreover, the data are compressed. The authentification is based on X509v3 certificates. The customer and the waiter negotiate initially the parameters of safety of TLS (in fact, cryptographic algorithms and of compression). Then, they exchange their certificates, which enables them to calculate a common secrecy, each one on their side. They use this common secrecy to extract the cryptographic keys from them from session TLS. TLS turns on a reliable transport layer (in practice, it is always TCP) and is useful of the applications such as HTTP, smtp, NNTP, etc. The application most usually made safe by TLS is HTTP (one speaks then about HTTPS) with a certificate on the side of the waiter and not of certificate for the customer. The customer is assured that it is in contact with the good waiter and that the data which it sends are not readable on the network.
