SSL/TLS
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are protocols for encrypting
sent/received data. While in a screen connected by SSL/TLS, data is encrypted to safely
send/receive private information, credit card numbers, corporate secrets, etc., and provide
protection against online threats (eavesdropping, falsification, impersonation, etc.).
SSL/TLS Cautions
When opening a secured page, users must decide as their responsibility whether or not to open
the page with use of SSL/TLS. Boost Mobile and the applicable Certification Authorities make
no guarantees whatsoever to users regarding security of SSL/TLS.
