Enabling TLS/SSL
To ensure secure communications between the server and the browser, we employ TLS technology. Security is achieved by installing an SSL certificate on the server to provide authentication and verification. Users are assured that they are connecting to a legitimate and intended website or server through the use of HTTPS – which the browser makes obvious by showing a closed padlock icon in the address bar (and no obvious warnings). It’s considered a fundamental requirement of web security and best practices that any website, regardless of how straightforward its content, must have TLS enabled.
The acronyms SSL and TLS are often used interchangeably. This is, in fact, incorrect. SSL, specifically, is legacy technology and uses a very weak encryption algorithm that is easy to crack.
SSL is a deprecated technology and should never be used. TLS replaces SSL as the more secure solution to the issues in SSL. For further details on the differences between...
