What is SSL / TLS?

Definition: SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are protocols that encrypt the connection between a browser or app and a server. TLS is the current version. SSL is outdated, though the name is still widely used.

How it works:

The server presents a certificate issued by a certificate authority.
The browser checks the certificate and agrees encryption keys with the server (the TLS handshake).
All data then travels encrypted, shown as HTTPS in the address bar.

Where it is used in iGaming: logins, registration, payments, KYC document uploads, API connections with game providers and PSPs.

Best practice: TLS 1.2 or 1.3 only, automatic certificate renewal and monitoring of certificate expiry dates across all brand domains.
