  SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer / Transport Layer Security) is the cryptographic protocol that secures communications
  over the internet. TLS 1.3 is the current standard, providing authentication, confidentiality, and integrity for
  HTTPS, email, VoIP, and other protocols. This covers certificate management, public key infrastructure (PKI),
  certificate authorities, and TLS configuration APIs from major vendors and open source projects.
