title: 'Transport Layer Security Support'
description: |-
Support for Transport Layer Security (TLS), and its predecessor, the Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL), is included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the OpenSSL software (RPM package
<tt>openssl</tt>). TLS provides encrypted and authenticated network
communications, and many network services include support for it. TLS or SSL
can be leveraged to avoid any plaintext transmission of sensitive data.
<br />
For information on how to use OpenSSL, see
<b>{{{ weblink(link="http://www.openssl.org/docs/") }}}</b>. Information on FIPS validation
of OpenSSL is available at <b>{{{ weblink(link="http://www.openssl.org/docs/fips.html") }}}</b>
