SSL/TLS
SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer / Transport Layer Security) is the cryptographic protocol that encrypts data in transit across networks, authenticating servers (and optionally clients) and protecting HTTP traffic as HTTPS. TLS is the modern successor to the deprecated SSL, and it is the default transport security for virtually every web and API request today.
Also known as SSL, TLS, Transport Layer Security, Secure Sockets Layer.
Providers that carry SSL/TLS 2
These providers' own APIs.json profiles carry SSL/TLS as a tag — the provider's statement that the standard is part of what it does. APIs.io has not verified the implementation on this page; the de facto profiles on this site are where that measurement exists. Ordered by Kin Score.
