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

🧊Nice Pick

TLS 1.2

Developers should learn and use TLS 1

TLS 1.2

Nice Pick

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

TLS 1.3

Developers should learn and use TLS 1

Pros

  • +3 to implement modern, secure web connections, as it is the current standard for HTTPS, APIs, and other network protocols to protect against eavesdropping and tampering
  • +Related to: https, ssl

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use TLS 1.2 if: You want 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 and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use TLS 1.3 if: You prioritize 3 to implement modern, secure web connections, as it is the current standard for https, apis, and other network protocols to protect against eavesdropping and tampering over what TLS 1.2 offers.

🧊
The Bottom Line
TLS 1.2 wins

Developers should learn and use TLS 1
