ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

tls

TLS stands for Transport Layer Security. It helps to keep your information safe when you communicate with other people over the internet. It does this by encrypting or scrambling the information so that no one else can see it or use it without your permission. It also makes sure that the information is sent securely between the two computers that are communicating with each other. So, it's like a special lock that only you and the other person have the key to.
