Use of the ssl display filter will emit a warning. Since Wireshark 3.0, the TLS dissector has been renamed from SSL to TLS. The TLS dissector is fully functional and even supports advanced features such as decryption of TLS if appropriate secrets are provided ( #TLS_Decryption).

X.509 certificates for authentication are sometimes also called SSL Certificates. These names are often used interchangeably which can lead to some confusion:Ī configuration that uses the SSL protocol (SSLv2/SSLv3) is insecure. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the predecessor of the TLS protocol.

It is used most commonly in web browsers, but can be used with any protocol that uses TCP as the transport layer. It provides integrity, authentication and confidentiality. Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides security in the communication between two hosts.
