TLS Protocol Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

TLS Protocol Analysis

The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol is the cryptographic standard that secures web communication and email transmission. Evolved from SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), TLS provides authentication, encryption, and integrity protection for data in transit. The protocol combines public-key cryptography (RSA, ECDH) for key agreement, symmetric encryption (AES) for bulk data, and digital signatures (SHA-256) for authentication.
