Computers use TLS (Transport Layer Security) to check each other’s identity and ensure they can talk privately. The technology allows you to communicate with ResMed while both protecting the communicated data and verifying the other side is trusted. The support for TLS, in various forms, has been added to many browsers and systems without intruding on a normal user’s experience. These security measures mean that passwords or credit card numbers can be sent over the internet without fear of someone else obtaining that information “in transit.” In more detail, TLS checks certificates as a form of digital identification. Every TLS-enabled server would have a corresponding certificate that is automatically exchanged and verified during initial connection. A trusted party digitally “signs” the certificate verifying the system. Most operating systems and web browsers have a preconfigured list of trusted parties to compare. After checking the certificate, your web browser and the server will automatically decide how to protect the data using encryption.
