Transport Layer Security
TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a security protocol that provides encryption and authentication among applications where data travels over an insecure network, commonly the internet. TLS is based on the SSL 3.0 protocol. TLS is far more extensible since it is based on open community standards. The most unique advantage is that it is backwards compatible and could be scaled to secure client side connections, which tend to support SSL only. It also permits secure and insecure connections over a single port. The way in which it was created would mean that it could be supported in the future as well
