Here\u2019s what SSL on an iPhone means and how you can enable it.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Want to know what SSL on an iPhone is? Well, you couldn\u2019t be at a better place. In this post, we will try to give you a clear idea of what SSL means and how you can enable it on your iPhone (and iPad) emails. You might know that SSL stands for \u2018Secure Socket Layer.’ Some people also call it TLS (Transport Security Layer) but don’t get confused as both mean almost the same \u2013 TLS is what succeeded SSL.<\/p>\n

What is SSL connection<\/h2>\n

SSL\/TLS is a cryptographic protocol that establishes a secure connection between two parties\u2014client and server in this case. Here, \u2018secure connection’ means encrypted, authenticated communication between two end-points. Every piece of information that you send and receive from your iPhone email gets encrypted so that your information cannot be stolen or altered by any unauthorized entity. And even if someone somehow manages to get his\/her hands on the data, it wouldn\u2019t be of any use as it\u2019s almost impossible to decrypt data protected using 128\/256-bit encryption.<\/p>\n

So when you want to enable SSL in your iPhone email settings, that is what happens to the emails you send and receive. Sounds good? Want to do it? Let\u2019s get the ball rolling then.<\/p>\n
