  SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer / Transport Layer Security) is the cryptographic
  protocol that secures communications over the internet. TLS 1.3 is the current
  standard, providing authentication, confidentiality, and integrity for HTTPS,
  email, VoIP, and other protocols. This covers certificate management, public
  key infrastructure (PKI), certificate authorities, and TLS configuration APIs
  from major vendors and open source projects.
