![]() Algorithms can become obsolete over time, or practices can be abandoned, with each change affecting the overall security of a TLS instance (like the one protecting your connection right now). Moreover, TLS, like SSL before it, constantly evolves with the security industry-new technology and business requirements must be satisfied, while the latest security threats must be mitigated. Rather, the security TLS provides arises from the cooperation of various cryptographic algorithms. TLS usually functions quietly in the background, but contrary to what one might think, TLS is not a black box that just works. It (and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer or SSL) have been used for decades in many applications, but most notably in browsers when they visit HTTPS websites. The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol is the primary means of protecting network communications over the Internet.
