SSL v1before 1995, internal to Netscape, never released

SSL v2 draft published in FEB 1995 SSL 0.2 PROTOCOL SPECIFICATIONhttp://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ssl/draft02.html

SSL v3 draft published in NOV 1996 The SSL Protocol Version 3.0http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ssl/draft302.txt

TLS 1.0RFC 2446 - in Jan 1999 The TLS Protocol Version 1.0 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2246

TLS 1.1 RFC 4346 - in April 2006The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.1 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4346

TLS 1.2 RFC 5246 - in August 2008The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246

"The TLS protocol provides communications security over the Internet. The protocol allows client/serverapplications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery." - The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2

Record Protocol http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246#section-6

The Record Protocol takes messages to be transmitted, fragments the data into manageable blocks, optionally compresses the data, applies a MAC, encrypts, and transmits the result. Received data is decrypted, verified, decompressed, reassembled, and then delivered to higher-level clients.
