TLS
/tiː el es/
Definition
Transport Layer Security — the cryptographic protocol securing communications over the internet (the 'S' in HTTPS).
Example in context
"All internal service-to-service calls use mTLS — both sides present certificates, not just the server."
Practice this term
Master TLS in context by working through exercises in the Networking & Protocols module. You'll see the term used in real engineering scenarios with multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and matching drills.
