SSL Research at Northeastern, University of Maryland, and StanfordResearch on the SSL/TLS Ecosystem. Every day, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure our Internet transactions such as banking, e-mail and e-commerce. Along with a public key infrastructure (PKI), they allow our computers to automatically verify that our sensitive information (e.g., credit card numbers and passwords) are hidden from eavesdroppers and sent to trustworthy servers.
