The acronym TLS stands for Transport Layer Security (this term replaced the label SSL in 1999). TLS is an encryption protocol to authenticate a server and to insure a safe date exchange. Using a SSL connection the server usually provides the browser with a certificate. If the certificate is supplied by a trustworthy source, the browser accepts it. If the server certificate it not verified a warning message will be displayed. TLS or SSL makes sure that data once entered into the browser can not be intercepted and is sent to the server unaltered.
