Introducing TLS 1.3

CloudFlare has introduced TLS 1.3, a new encryption protocol that improves both speed and security for Internet users. The Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an evolution of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which secures communication on the internet. TLS 1.3 removes support for older broken forms of cryptography, enhancing its security. It also speeds up page load times by reducing the number of round-trips needed to complete a handshake between the browser and website. The protocol is available to all CloudFlare customers and will be supported by major browsers in the coming months.
