SSL OR TLS?

SSL or TLS?

New versions of SSL have been released to ensure more secure data transmission, and TLS (Transport Layer Security) is just the updated version of SSL. Previous changes were reflected in the name by adding the number of versions, for example, SSLv2.0 or SSLv3.0. However, instead of naming the next version SSLv4.0, it was called TLSv1.0.

As SSL is more commonly used, it is referred to while talking about securing transmitted data, even if the TLS version is actually used.
