Embracing a More Secure Era with TLS 1.3

TLS 1.3 offers attractive speed and security improvement benefits that are hard to ignore. The handshake phase was sped up by removing one or more roundtrips (back and forth messaging between client and server) in TLS 1.3 – with “or more” meaning that for certain cases, roundtrips can be entirely eliminated (0-RTT). During the round phase, TLS 1.3 has added support for the generally faster Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) over Edwards curves (EdDSA), as compared to DSA over elliptic curves (ECDSA).
