Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide secure communication over a computer network. It ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data exchanged between applications, typically over the internet.

Here's a breakdown of TLS security features:

**Encryption**: It encrypts data to prevent unauthorized access during transmission.

**Authentication**: It verifies the identity of communicating parties using digital certificates.

**Data Integrity**: It ensures that messages are not altered during transmission using cryptographic hashing.

TLS is widely used in securing web browsing (HTTPS), email, messaging, and other online services. It has evolved from its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and newer versions offer improved security and efficiency.

***NOTE: These BUILDs are meant for BUILDing other software only within OBS and not for actual (local) installations on your operating system; In case of Open SLL Libraries it is possible to have them installed, but potential conflicts with the ones pre-installed by your operating system might arise, depending in your use case so use these with caution . . .***
