Transport Layer Security plays a vital role in providing security for the data that flow on the internet. Its latest revisionTLS 1.3, has a dramatic increase in performance compared to its predecessor 1.2. Its speed and security capabilities made it mandatory to use in today’s world. Its main function of it is to provide an encrypted channel between the client (the web browser) and the server (the web server) on a public platform like the internet. To set the secure encrypted channel, it is required to configure the TLS protocol at both ends. We have created a dedicated post that covers how toenable TLS 1.3 on popular web browsers. However, now we are going to cover how to enable TLS 1.3 on popular web servers in this article.
