Just saw the tweet… IETF finally released the long-awaited TLS 1.3 version of the secure Web communication, considered to be the most secure protocol specification that assures high-degree of security, privacy and also faster performance compared to its predecessor TLS 1.2.

The most compelling features of TLS 1.3 :

• More secure, removed out-dated algorithms previously had known vulnerabilities from TLS cipher suites, which includes SHA-1, AES-CBC, 3DES/DES, RC4, and few more.
• Faster than TLS 1.2 as it uses only one connection establishment handshake between the communication client and server.
• Enables Perfect Forward Secrecy by default.  Adds privacy by additional encryption at the negotiation phase that restricts eavesdropping and deep packet traffic analysis.
