What is Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Chapter 23
Handbook of Research on Wireless Security
TLS is used mostly in client/server applications, which require endpoint authentication and communications privacy, particularly over the Internet. This is mostly done using cryptographic measures.

Abstract
Security measures of mobile infrastructures have always been important from the early days of the creation of cellular networks. Nowadays, however, the traditional security schemes require a more fundamental approach to cover the entire path from the mobile user to the server. This fundamental approach is so-called end-to-end (E2E) security coverage. The main focus of this chapter is to discuss such architectures for IEEE 802.16e (Mobile-WiMAX) and major third generation (3G) cellular networks. The E2E implementations usually contain a complete set of algorithms, protocol enhancements (mutual identification, authentications, and authorization), including the very large-scale integration (VLSI) implementations. This chapter discusses various proposals at the protocol level.

Security and Privacy Considerations in Cloud-Based Data Processing Solutions for Sensitive Data
Transport Layer Security is a cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication over networks, such as the internet. It encrypts data exchanged between a user's device and a server, ensuring data confidentiality and protection against eavesdropping and tampering during transmission. TLS is commonly used to secure online transactions, web browsing, email, and other forms of data exchange, safeguarding privacy and data integrity.
