Transport Layer Security Working Group

The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Working Group is a team within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that develops standards to secure communications over the internet. TLS ensures that data exchanged between devices—like your browser and a website—is encrypted, authentic, and private, protecting against eavesdropping and tampering. The group works on creating and updating protocols to improve security, performance, and interoperability of these encrypted connections, helping to keep online interactions safe and trustworthy for users worldwide.
