TLS 1.3 for Faster Secure Connections
Faster Secure Connections
Transport Layer Security ( TLS ) is a cryptographic protocol developed to increase security for internet connections. Websites that utilize TLSenjoy secure connections between the web server and web browsers. In recent years, Google has also begun including secure connections in its ranking algorithm. Beginning in 2014, the search engine giant noted that it would favor websites that included the https:// prefix in the URL, which is indicative of a secure connection.
Beginning in 2020, all Web21 websites offer free secure connections. Additionally, our system has been upgraded to include the new TLS 1.3 standard. As a result, improved protocol speeds for secure connections is now built-in to all new websites on the Web21 platform.
TLS 1.3 reduces the number of round trips data must make between the web browser and the server by 50% by only requiring one round-trip. For the end user, this makes secure websites seem faster than before TLS 1.3 was implemented.
The original vision for Transport Layer Security dates back to 1999, with version 1.0. Seven years later, in 2006, Version 1.1 was announced, with version 1.2 coming just two years later. There's been a long wait between versions 1.2 and 1.3 (which was defined in 2018), and now that it is available, every business owner should ensure that their website is using the TLS 1.3 protocol for secure connections.
TLS 1.3 replaces the TLS 1.2 spec, which came out in 2008. The biggest benefit to TLS 1.3 is the faster speeds of secure connections.
