Did SSL come first and now we use TLS or the other way around.
Also, SLL is OSI Transport layer 4 - or session layer - I would say Transport because I think it does go from SSL to now TLS which would make sense. I have seen it both ways for both questions.
Thanks

SSL came first, Netscape came up with it. It is not interchangeable with TLS. TLS is more secure.

So can SSL

Believe it or not but the Wikipedia article is actually pretty good at covering the protocol(s):
