TLS
Secure connection standard
TLS stands for Transport Layer Security, the cryptographic protocol that secures internet communications.
When you see a padlock icon in your browser or "https" in a URL, TLS is encrypting the connection between your device and the server.
TLS replaced the older SSL protocol, though people often still say "SSL" loosely to mean either.
