Which is more secure, SSL or TLS certificate?

Well, it has already been seen, It is a still big confusing to find out which is still the most secured? Well, there is no question whether TLS is better than an SSL certificate in large part due to its security vulnerability. 

On the other hand, the SSL certificate is deprecated. Although SSL is the most recent and updated version of the TLS certificate, SSL is not a completely secure protocol. 

On behalf of that, TLS is preferable as it provides performance benefits and it also supports cipher suit. Cipher suits are basically a collection of algorithms that all together work to encrypt your connection with the website securely. Your certificate facilitates the process when the cipher suite is negotiated during the handshake. 

In Google Chrome, they actually started displaying warnings for ERR_SSL_ OBSOLETE_Version.

    SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are both cryptographic protocols that provide secure communication over the internet. TLS is the successor to SSL and is generally considered to be more secure.

    Both SSL and TLS establish an encrypted connection between a client and a server by using a combination of public key encryption and symmetric key encryption. This ensures that the data transmitted between the client and server is secure and cannot be intercepted by third parties.

    However, there are several key differences between SSL and TLS:

    1. Versions: TLS has multiple versions, with the latest being TLS 1.3. Each version includes updates and improvements to the security and performance of the protocol. In contrast, SSL has only three versions, with SSL 3.0 being the most recent.

    2. Encryption strength: TLS uses stronger encryption algorithms than SSL, which makes it more resistant to attacks.

    3. Vulnerabilities: SSL has several vulnerabilities that have been identified over the years, including the POODLE attack and the BEAST attack. These vulnerabilities have been addressed in newer versions of TLS.

    In summary, TLS is generally considered to be more secure than SSL because it uses stronger encryption algorithms, has multiple versions with updates and improvements, and is less vulnerable to attacks. It is recommended to use the latest version of TLS whenever possible.
