Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the successor of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). They are both cryptographic protocols designed to provide communications security over a computer network. The client/server pair use a symmetric key to encrypt the communication. The symmetric key is unique and generated for each connection, as part of a protocol exchange that involves pair's public and private keys. For more details, see:
