The Technical Stuff

TLS is a replacement of the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL). It provides secure communications on the internet. It is used for web browsers and other applications that require data to be securely exchanged over a network such as an email, file transfers, VPN connection and voice over IP.

Windows 7 supports TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2, but these protocol versions are not enabled by default.
