TLS v SSL : which should you use

21 June,2022 by Tom Collins

 

TLS SSL
Transparent Layer Security (TLS) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
versions: SSL  (1.0, 2.0, 3.0) versions:TLS (1.0,1.1,1.2,1.3)
Vulnerabilities discovered in all versions Vulnerabilities in 1.0& 1.1
Founder: Internet Egineering Taskforce 1999 Founder: Taher Elgamal (Netscape) 1995

 

-In documentation\forums\web sites  -  TLS & SSL are used interchangeably , confusing the issue. TLS should be the priority over SSL given the deprecation status and vulnerabilities.MS SQL supports TL2 1.2  as standard. Microsoft recommends you use TLS 1.2 
-TLS 1.0 & 1.1 now deprecated
-SSL 2.0 & SSL 3.0 were deprecated in 2011 & 2015. Vulnerabilites continue to be discovered - Heartbleed , POODLE 
-Certificates are not dependant on protocols
-The certificate facilitates the handshake between the server & client. At the handshake phase - the protocol version is established , as well as the shared secret & that is the key determinant in the encryption strength.
