Can I use both SSL and TLS?
It works in much the same way as the SSL, using encryption to protect the transfer of data and information. The two terms are often used interchangeably in the industry although SSL is still widely used. When you buy an ‘SSL’ certificate from DigiCert, you can of course use it with both SSL and TLS protocols.
What is the main advantage of using TLS instead of SSL protocol?
While SSL provides keyed message authentication, TLS uses the more secure Key-Hashing for Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to ensure that a record cannot be altered during transmission over an open network such as the Internet.
Does TLS mean HTTPS?

What’s the difference between SSL and TLS encryption?
Both TLS and SSL encryption protocols provide a secure transport connection between applications (e.g. web server and browser). The main goal of TLS/SSL is following: • Establish session by agreeing on algorithms, sharing secrets and performing authentication.
Are there any real disadvantages to using TLS / HTTPS?
For one reason or another, a lot of rumors and myths about TLS / HTTPS are online. Here’s a look at some of the FALSE disadvantages that aren’t really a problem. Resource Hog – When setup correctly, SSL is not going to eat up all your server resources.
What’s the difference between SSL and HTTP / 2?
HTTP, and the more recent HTTP/2, are application protocols that play an essential role in transferring information over the Internet. With plain HTTP, that information is vulnerable to attacks. But when you use HTTP over SSL or TLS (HTTPS), you encrypt and authenticate that data during transport, which makes it secure.
Is it possible to go beyond HTTPS with SSL?
While the ability to go beyond HTTPS has come a long way in the last few years, it can sometimes be a pain to setup and might require changes to in-house software or buying additional modules from application vendors. Still, for everything that is on the web or accessible via a web browser, SSL / TLS is definitely the way to go.
