IP security terminology

SSL/TLS
Note:
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) has been renamed Transport Layer Security (TLS).
Note:
TLS 1.0 is based on SSL 3.0/3.1. This document hereafter uses the term TLS.
TLS is a security mechanism based on cryptography. See
used for encrypting communications between users and TLS-based Websites. The encryption
prevents eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data.
TLS operates on the OSI Model Level 5 and uses PKI. For more information see
Infrastructure on page 76.
Public Key Infrastructure
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a component of Public Key Cryptography (PKC) that uses:
Public Key Certificates. See

Certificate Authorities. See

Public key certificates (Digital Certificates)
Public Key Certificates are used for key exchange and authentication. The certificates are
electronic document files that incorporate a digital signature to bind together a public key with
an identity (information such as the name or a person or organization, their address, and other
details.
The signature may be signed by a trusted entity called a Certificate Authority (CA). See
Certificate Authorities
The most common use of public key certificates is for TLS certificates. For example, https
websites.
