TLS 1.3 vs TLS 1.2

Developers should learn and implement TLS 1 meets developers should learn and use tls 1. Here's our take.

TLS 1.3

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and implement TLS 1

Pros

• 3 when building web applications, APIs, or any networked service requiring secure data transmission, as it offers stronger encryption, faster connection establishment, and better protection against attacks like downgrade and eavesdropping
• Related to: https, ssl

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

TLS 1.2

Developers should learn and use TLS 1

Pros

• 2 to implement secure data transmission in applications, especially for web services, APIs, and client-server communications where sensitive information like passwords or financial data is exchanged
• Related to: tls-1.3, https

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use TLS 1.3 if: You want 3 when building web applications, apis, or any networked service requiring secure data transmission, as it offers stronger encryption, faster connection establishment, and better protection against attacks like downgrade and eavesdropping and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use TLS 1.2 if: You prioritize 2 to implement secure data transmission in applications, especially for web services, apis, and client-server communications where sensitive information like passwords or financial data is exchanged over what TLS 1.3 offers.

The Bottom Line

TLS 1.3 wins

Developers should learn and implement TLS 1
