The growing complexity of “digital communication” doesn’t involve only the underlying technologies, but it has social impacts too.
Think about technologies like FTPS, secure e-mail delivery using TLS channels, SSL VPN, and so on.
Its success was so remarkable that the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) decided, in 1996, to adopt it as an Internet Standard under the name of Transport Layer Security (TLS).Įven though it was originally intended for protecting electronic e-commerce transactions, the growth over time of the world wide web both in terms of the number of people using it every day and the number of available services, forced the TLS/SSL protocol to be applied to very different scenarios from those envisaged at the outset. Since its debut in 1994, when Netscape Communication designed version 1.0 of the Secure Socket Layer specification, SSL began to emerge as the most popular protocol for the secure exchange of digital data between remote systems.
