Any #Infosec person caught referring to #TLS as #SSL should be required to write out by hand every word in RFC7568 until they have the whole thing memorized. | https://goo.gl/m1HBBD #PKI #CyberSecurity
@jandrusk ok, sure, but I will say that this depends on the context. I regularly say "SSL/TLS", because people I am doing trainings for have no idea what TLS is; they have heard about SSL however.
I need to communicate certain things to non-techies, and saying just "TLS" is not going to work for some time still, sadly.
So, in a techie group, sure. In a non-techie group... it's complicated.
@rysiek @jandrusk
Certainly a good notion in many ways. But as a semi-tech-literate demimuggle, I'd counterpoint a bit. Sometimes when specifying "no SSL", a client then saying it offers "SSL/TLS" just confuses people even more. "Hmm, so should I use this or not?" I certainly was confused by such usage when I dove into netsec.
@jandrusk I'm getting flashbacks about people talking about “class soandso” networks. That shit has been marxed in 1993!
@jandrusk old habits die hard.
