TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the cryptographic protocol that provides communication security to all modern websites. First released in 1999 as an upgrade to now-deprecated SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0 evolved into TLS 1.1 and then, in 2008, into the current TLS 1.2 version. While TLS 1.2 has been an enormous success over the last ten years, […]
In the grand scheme of things, SSL certificates have a relatively short lifespan. They can protect your website for just one year before expiring. The imperative thing is to not miss the expiration deadline. If the SSL certificate expires, prepare for the worst – the dreaded security warning message on your pages. In this article, […]
