The 14 pages that link to Transport Layer Security, each with the reason it gives.

• CryptographyRelated: TLS secures web traffic by combining certificates, key exchange, and authenticated encryption.

• E-commerceRelated: Secure connections help protect checkout information as it crosses the internet.

• HTTPRelated: HTTPS uses TLS to secure HTTP exchanges.

• Public-key cryptographyBroader topic: TLS uses public-key mechanisms to authenticate servers and establish session keys.

• Digital signatureRelated: TLS uses certificate signatures to establish trust in server public keys.

• Diffie–Hellman key exchangeNarrower topic: TLS uses authenticated key exchanges to establish session keys.

• End-to-end encryptionCompared with: It can secure a connection to a service while still allowing that service to read message contents.

• EncryptionBroader topic: It uses encryption to protect web and other network traffic in transit.

• RSA cryptosystemRelated: Earlier TLS versions used RSA key transport; RSA signatures remain supported in some configurations.

• Internet Engineering Task ForceBroader topic: TLS standards developed in the IETF secure widely used Internet connections.

• Communication protocolRelated: TLS demonstrates how protocol rules can establish authenticated, encrypted communication.

• Public key infrastructureRelated: TLS uses certificates to authenticate servers and sometimes clients.

• Symmetric-key algorithmRelated: TLS uses symmetric algorithms for bulk traffic after a handshake establishes session keys.

• File Transfer ProtocolRelated: TLS provides the encryption used by FTPS, addressing FTP’s exposure of credentials and data.
