TLS
Abbreviation for Transport Layer Security
In short and in plain language
TLS encrypts connections on the internet.
It guards the data on the way from browser to site. Others cannot easily read or change it.
This helps with contact and job forms, for example.
Websites with a locked address use it. For this they need a valid certificate.
Definition
TLS is an encryption method for connections on the internet. It protects data between browser and website from being read or altered, for example in contact and application forms. Websites using HTTPS rely on it and need a valid certificate for it.
