Exploring the Vulnerabilities and Countermeasures of SSL/TLS Protocols in Secure Data Transmission Over Computer Networks.

The expansion of computer networks and the increase in information sharing over the internet platform have raised the issue of data security during transmission. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and its more secure and updated version, TLS (Transport Layer Security), are encryption and authentication protocols designed for secure communication over computer networks. Unfortunately, the SSL/TLS protocol structure established to ensure the security of the transmitted data has become a target for malicious attackers. This article will discuss the versions of the SSL/TLS protocols, their operational structure, weaknesses in the SSL/TLS protocol, the attacks carried out through these weaknesses, and the measures that can be taken against them.
