Brief History of SSL/TLS
SSL/TLS was originally created to secure web traffic information, particularly data sent between web browsers
and servers. SSL is now used with additional applications, such as Telnet, printer, and FTP software, in order to
become a universal solution for online security. Its original design intentions are still being used today by many
online retailers and banks to secure sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, customer records, etc.
SSL/TLS uses extremely high levels of encryption and is trusted by banks all over the world.
