Transport Layer Security
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that provides communication security between the client and server applications.
Upgrade to Transport Layer Security (TLS)— In the ThinOS 8.2 release, the TLS is upgraded from version 1.0 to version 1.2.
By default, the ThinOS client uses TLS 1.2 to secure any communication protocols, connections, or applications upon SSL/ TLS
in general and falls back to the previous SSL/ TLS version when negotiating with the server.

A smart card is a security token that has embedded integrated circuits. Smart cards allow you to store and transact data.
