Hi all,
Following a recent discussion about how to name the successor of TLS
1.2, I wish to share an idea about a possible terminology clarification.
I believe it could help to conciliate people understanding of SSL & TLS.
We would have 3 notions:
1/ the technology,
2/ the protocols,
3/ the protocol versions.
The technology is SSL, and is sometimes also refered to as SSL/TLS.
(Note that bare TLS is not a technology.)
The protocols are:
- deprecated eponym SSL,
- TLS,
- DTLS.
The protocol versions are:
- 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 for SSL,
- 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0 for TLS,
- 1.0, 1.2 and 2.0 for DTLS.
Any comments about that proposal?
