IMPORTANCE OF TRANSPORT
LEVEL SECURITY PROTOCOLS
AND THEIR APPLICATION
By
Student Name
Introduction
• TLS is a protocol securing data at the
transport layer.
• Fun Fact: "Over 90% of web traffic
uses HTTPS with TLS in 2025“
• Objective: "Explore why TLS matters
and where it’s used“.
Why TLS Matters?
• "Key Goals: Confidentiality, Integrity,
Availability (CIA Triad)"
• "Protects against:"
• Eavesdropping (snooping)
• Tampering (modification)
• Impersonation (masquerading)
How TLS works
• Encryption:
• AES for data protection
• RSA for secure key exchange
• Handshake:
Negotiates secure connection
• Verifies identity with certificates
•
• TLS 1.3: Faster, stronger security
Applications
• HTTPS: Secure web browsing (e.g.,
online banking)
• Email: Encrypted SMTP/IMAP (e.g.,
private messages)
• IoT: Protects smart devices (e.g.,
thermostats)
• Example: "TLS secures your bank login"
TLS Challenges
• Misconfiguration: Old versions (e.g.,
TLS 1.0) are risky IoT
• Overhead: Too heavy for some devices
• Quantum Threat: Future-proofing
needed
Conclusion
• TLS: Essential for secure digital life
• Future: Stronger, smarter protocols
ahead.

Abstract
Because of its increased importance, Internet-based communication growth requires
strong security measures to protect travelling data. TLS protocols work at the transport layer of
the OSI model to secure communication through diverse applications and provide reliable
protection. This document investigates how Transport Layer Security (TLS) maintains data
security through confidentiality protection and ensures integrity and availability to resist threats
that target data surveillance and modification attempts and deny service actions. This document
investigates three primary applications where TLS operates, which include HTTPS secure
browsing, email transfer, and data exchanges between IoT devices. Current scientific research
investigates how TLS has developed while assessing its network security performance,
configuration issues, and new digital threats. The findings affir...
