👉 The SSL Fluid is a protocol version that represents the secure transport layer (TLS) 1.2 and its predecessor, SSL 3.0, in a way that enhances privacy and security by allowing clients and servers to negotiate between these two protocols. When a connection uses SSL Fluid, it means the initial handshake and subsequent communication can be encrypted using either TLS 1.2 or SSL 3.0, but the underlying transport remains secure with TLS 1.2 due to its stronger security features and resistance to attacks like POODLE. This flexibility ensures that even if an older, less secure protocol is used initially, the connection can be upgraded to a more secure version, providing robust protection against modern cyber threats.
