Name: Configuring Tls 1 3 For Secure Communications
Author: mukul975

Overview

TLS 1.3 (RFC 8446) is the latest version of the Transport Layer Security protocol, providing significant improvements over TLS 1.2 in both security and performance. It reduces handshake latency to 1-RTT (and 0-RTT for resumed sessions), removes obsolete cipher suites, and mandates perfect forward secrecy. This skill covers configuring TLS 1.3 on servers, validating configurations, and testing for common misconfigurations.

When to Use

When deploying or configuring configuring tls 1 3 for secure communications capabilities in your environment
When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
When building or improving security architecture for this domain
When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

Familiarity with cryptography concepts and tools
Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
Appropriate authorization for any testing activities
