TLS, which stands for Transport Layer Security, is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide secure communication over a computer network, such as the internet. It is the successor to SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), and although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably in the industry, TLS is the more modern and secure version.

Status TLS version Description
TLS Version 1.0 TLS 1.0, introduced in 1999, offers encryption and authentication for network communications, but due to discovered vulnerabilities, it's now largely deprecated in favor of more secure versions.
TLS Version 1.1 TLS 1.1, introduced in 2006 to provide secure web communication, but it's now considered outdated and potentially vulnerable compared to newer versions.
TLS Version 1.2 TLS 1.2, introduced in 2008, is an improved cryptographic protocol for secure web communication, offering enhanced security features and algorithms over its predecessors.
TLS Version 1.3 TLS 1.3, introduced in 2018, is the latest version of the cryptographic protocol for secure web communication, offering streamlined handshake processes and advanced security features compared to previous versions.

Modern TLS versions not on use

The host does not use the lastest TLS version, which can make the platform more vulnerable to cyber threats and potentially put user data at risk. This puts the platform at a higher risk of cyber threats and raises concerns about the safety of user data. Using outdated TLS protocols leaves the host exposed to known vulnerabilities and increases vulnerability to cyberattacks. This not only jeopardizes data security but can also result in non-compliance with security standards. While upgrading to modern TLS versions is crucial for improved security, careful consideration of compatibility with older clients is necessary.
