TLS
The protocol layer that encrypts traffic and proves server identity
Core Idea
TLS encrypts network traffic and helps clients verify that they are really talking to the intended server. Browser lock icons, certificate checks, and secure session key exchange all depend on this layer.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong uses TLS when explaining HTTPS exposure, reverse-proxy logs, and re-encrypted internal service paths. It turns "secure traffic" into something concrete you can reason about.
