 RFC 3749 - Transport Layer Security Protocol Compression Methods
Introduction The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol (RFC 2246, [2]) includes features to negotiate selection of a lossless data compression method as part of the TLS Handshake Protocol and to then apply the algorithm associated with the selected method as part of the TLS Record Protocol.
Abstract The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol (RFC 2246) includes features to negotiate selection of a lossless data compression method as part of the TLS Handshake Protocol and to then apply the algorithm associated with the selected method as part of the TLS Record Protocol.
Compression algorithms tend to be mathematically complex and prone to implementation errors.

 OMG Security
The lack of a framework to support fine-grain access controls required by "application-level" security is a well known problem in distributed computing.
Identification and authentication of principals (human users and objects that need to operate under their own rights) to verify they are who they claim to be.
Public key technology, although not new, does have promise as a basis for a flexible method of providing security in an online and distributed environment.

 iAnywhere.com - MobiLink Transport-Layer Security and Certificates
Many of the related security issues can be improved through the use of software, such as virtual private networks, or through hardware, such as secure point-to-point routers.
When using HotSync or ScoutSync, it is the computer running the MobiLink conduit that is the client.
Thus, transport-layer security protects only communication between this computer and the MobiLink server.

 RFC2830
For example, the security level of the TLS connection might have been negotiated down to plaintext.
Ascertaining the TLS connection's privacy level is implementation dependent, and accomplished by communicating with one's respective local TLS implementation.

 AntiOnline - Microsoft's Transport Layer Security
These and other problems have been fixed in SSLv3, but the older version is still supported by most browsers and is in use on some systems.
The change means that sites currently requiring SSLv2 will need to allow either SSLv3 or TLSv1, Microsoft said on its Internet Explorer Weblog, part of the Microsoft Developer Network.

 RFC 3436 (rfc3436) - Transport Layer Security over Stream Control Transmis
Thus the supported maximum length of SCTP user messages MUST be at least 2^14 + 2048 + 5 = 18437 bytes, which is the maximum length of a TLSCiphertext, as defined in [RFC2246].
The exception to this rule is for protocols which contain upgrade-to-TLS mechanisms, such as those of HTTP upgrade [RFC2817] and SMTP over TLS [RFC3207].
Abstract This document describes the usage of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, as defined in RFC 2246, over the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), as defined in RFC 2960 and RFC 3309.

 Define Secure Sockets Layer - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: SSL
The "sockets" part of the term refers to the sockets method of passing data back and forth between a client and a server program in a network or between program layers in the same computer.
Developed by Netscape, SSL also gained the support of Microsoft and other Internet client/server developers as well and became the de facto standard until evolving into Transport Layer Security.
SSL uses a program layer located between the Internet's Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Transport Control Protocol (TCP) layers.

 Transport Level Security
Transport security can also be enabled by modifying the container's server-config.wsdd file by adding 'httpgPort' parameter in the section of the configuration file.
Otherwise, the transport will need to be initialized manually.
The transport layer security is based around a new protocol called 'httpg' to indicate GSI-enabled HTTP-based protocol.

 TLS (Transport Layer Security) (Linktionary term)
RFC 2246 (The TLS Protocol, Version 1.0, January 1999) defines the initial version of the TLS protocol.
TLS is the IETF's version of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) version 3.0.
The IETF sought to standardize SSL, but did not like its use of the RSA Security's proprietary cryptographic technology, so it began work on TLS (Transport Layer Security), which uses Diffie-Hellman public-key cryptography.

This caching saves time and a lot of computation on the part of the hosts.
The data is then encrypted and passed to the lower layer such as TCP&; for transmission, which includes reliability, and congestion and flow control.

For example, a user making a transaction with a bank over a wireless device needs to know that the connection is secure and private and not subject to a security breach during transfer (sometimes referred to as a man-in-the-middle attack).
WTLS, designed specifically for the wireless environment, is needed because the client and the server must be authenticated in order for wireless transactions to remain secure and because the connection needs to be encrypted.

 SSL Digital Certificates - TLS Transport Layer Security
It is an enhancement of SSL version 3.0, and a proposed Internet Standard (see RFC2246).
In the early years of the Internet, RSA Data Security was the only trusted certificate authority, so businesses needing SSL digital certificates had practically no choice but to purchase them from Verisign, and use secure server software from Verisign.
Fortunately for consumers, current versions of Microsoft and Netscape browsers have the option to add new certificate authorities, creating new opportunities for revolutionary companies like DigiCert, Inc. to compete with much better pricing.

Multi-layer attacks are those that could occur in any layer of the network protocol stack.
Though no harm is done if the wormhole is used properly for efficient relaying of packets, it puts the attacker in a powerful position compared to other nodes in the network, which the attacker could use in a manner that could compromise the security of the network.
On the network layer, an adversary could take part in the routing process and exploit the routing protocol to disrupt the normal functioning of the network.
