SSL and TLS are similar technologies because they share a codebase, though one is better than the other. In fact, one is dead and the other still reigns supreme to the time this day. By end of this ...

SSL/TLS encryption once again is being haunted by an outdated and weak feature long past its prime: a newly discovered attack exploits a weakness in the older, less secure RC4 encryption algorithm ...

Just how broken are fundamental Internet security technologies such as Secure-Socket Layer (SSL), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and Transport Layer Security (TLS)? We still don't know for ...

This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter’s approach. SSL/TLS encryption is widely ...

This information is also available as a TechRepublic download. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and its successor TLS (Transport Layer Security) are two technologies that enable secure communications on a ...

There is a feature supported by the SSL/TLS encryption standard and used by most of the major browsers that leaks enough information about encrypted sessions to enable attackers decrypt users’ ...

In a blog I posted last week, I described that enterprise organizations are encrypting more of their network traffic. This is a mixed blessing in that it can protect data confidentiality and integrity ...

Two security researchers claim to have found a way of breaking the SSL/TLS encryption that is widely used to guarantee the reliability and privacy of data exchanged between web browsers and servers.

A newly discovered vulnerability that allows spying on encrypted SSL/TLS communications has been identified and fixed in the widely used OpenSSL library. The vulnerability, which is being tracked as ...
