I'm programing a web service that specifies the use of TLS. From Wikipedia:
*Transport Layer Security* (*TLS*) Protocol and its predecessor, *Secure Sockets Layer* (*SSL*), are cryptographic protocols<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_protocol>that provide security <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security> and data integrity<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_integrity>for communications over TCP/IP <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocol_Suite> networks such as the Internet <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet>. Several versions of the protocols are in wide-spread use in applications like web browsing<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browsing>, electronic mail <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail>, Internet faxing<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_fax>, instant messaging <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messaging> and voice-over-IP (VoIP) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_over_Internet_Protocol>. TLS and SSL encrypt the segments of the Transport Layer<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer>protocols in use for an end-to-end connection across the network. TLS is an IETF <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Engineering_Task_Force> standards track <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_standard> protocol, last updated in RFC 5246 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246>, that was based on the earlier SSL specifications developed by Netscape<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape>Corporation. So this would seem to indicate that for coding purposes with Revolution TLS and SSL are synonymous? Is there anything I shoud know about TLS rather than SSL when trying to establish a connection to a server using the Rev SSL libraries? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
