TLS 1.3
TLS 1.3 is the latest version of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, which provides secure communication over a computer network by encrypting data between clients and servers. It enhances security and performance by removing outdated cryptographic algorithms, reducing handshake latency, and improving privacy features compared to previous versions like TLS 1.2.
Developers should learn and use TLS 1.3 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. It is essential for applications requiring high security, such as financial services, healthcare systems, and e-commerce platforms, due to its faster handshake and stronger encryption.
