Transport Layer Security

Transport Layer Security is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network. It is the standard for securing web traffic, ensuring that data exchanged between a user and a trading platform remains private and tamper-proof.

TLS uses a combination of public key infrastructure and symmetric encryption to establish a secure tunnel for sensitive information, such as passwords, API keys, and order details. In the context of cryptocurrency exchanges, TLS is the first line of defense against network-level attacks that could intercept sensitive user credentials.

It ensures that the connection is encrypted and that the identity of the server is verified. As the primary security protocol for the web, TLS is essential for maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of financial interactions in an increasingly connected digital economy.
