What is TLS and how does it secure connections?
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the protocol that encrypts data in transit, providing confidentiality, integrity, and server authentication for HTTP...
What is mutual TLS (mTLS)?
Mutual TLS extends standard TLS so that both the client and the server present and verify certificates, rather than only the client verifying the serv...
What is the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption?
Symmetric encryption uses a single shared secret key to both encrypt and decrypt data; it is fast and ideal for bulk data, with AES being the common s...
What is encryption at rest versus encryption in transit?

Glossaries5
Encryption in Transit
Encryption in transit protects data as it travels across a network by encrypting the communication channel, preventing eavesdropping and tampering.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
Public key infrastructure is the system of certificate authorities, digital certificates, and policies used to issue, manage, and validate public keys, binding them to verified identities.
HTTP/2
HTTP/2 is a major revision of the HTTP protocol that adds request multiplexing, header compression, and server push over a single connection to improve web performance.
TCP
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a core transport protocol that provides reliable, ordered, connection-oriented delivery of a byte stream between two hosts.
TLS
