What is TLS 1.3?
TLS 1.3 stands for Transport Layer Security version 1.3 — it's the latest and most secure protocol used to encrypt data sent over the internet.
In simple terms:
- TLS 1.3 protects your data while it’s in transit (for example, when you're sending information from your phone to a server).
- It ensures that nobody can eavesdrop, tamper with, or alter your data — not even hackers or network providers.
- It’s what makes the padlock icon appear in your browser (like
https://).
Why TLS 1.3 is important:
- Faster and safer than earlier versions (like TLS 1.2).
- Removes outdated encryption methods that had vulnerabilities.
- Reduces latency, making secure connections quicker.
Real-world example:
When you access your bank or a secure app, TLS 1.3 creates a private tunnel between you and the server — so no one else can see or change what you’re sending or receiving.
