Brief History of SSL/TLS
SSL/TLS was originally created to secure web traffic information, particularly data sent between web browsers and
servers. For example, when you use Internet Explorer for Internet Banking and you see https:// and the little padlock
icon in the web browser, you are using SSL. SSL grew to work 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.
