## The Evolution of Internet Security: From SSL to Modern TLS.

Presenter: Grant Taylor & Lee Lammert

(Editor's note: TLS, which stands for Transport Layer Security, is a cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication over a network, like the internet. It's widely used to encrypt data sent between applications, like: web browsers and servers, email, instant messaging, voice over IP, ...ensuring privacy and data integrity. Think of it as a secure tunnel for your online communications. TLS is a proposed by The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) "open standard". First defined in 1999, the current version defined in August 2018.)
