SSL, TLS and Security

Lately there is a lot of talk going on around Internet Security. Much of the talk are about supporting TLS 1.2, but you are asked to buy an SSL Certificate. You must be confused like I am. You need to support TLS 1.2 to be considered secure, and soon the newer browsers will enforce that. Starting sometime in March of next year, new browsers will not even display the content if your website is not TLS 1.2 or later.

When you read up on the Internet, you'll learn that TLS is a successor to SSL. So, what is a TLS certificate? Why are you still asked to buy SSL when SSL is replaced by TLS. What is going on?

It is really confusing and stupid. I learned there are two meanings to SSL. (1) SSL is a certificate you buy to verify your company's security. “SSL Certificate”, (2) is the encryption method called SSL. The encryption method SSL is the one that is succeeded by TLS. The versions that are available for TLS are 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3. And starting March 2020, anything below TLS 1.2 will not be considered safe. Of course, all SSL excretions are obsolete.

Here is the confusing part: To use TLS, you need to be verified by a third party as an existing business or organization. That certificate is still called SSL. So you need to purchase an SSL certificate to activate TLS. Was I able to clear up this confusion? I hope I did. If you are not SSL certified or using anything less than TLS 1.2, or if you do not know which version you are using, please give us a call. We will be happy to look it up.

This will be my last newsletter for 2019. Have safe holidays and a happy new year. Thank you for being my friend.

Bigger, Faster, Stronger...

When it comes to Internet and Social Media ... people talk big, fast and strong. I think it is norm to make you look bigger than what you really are. So, people start not believing in the advertisements. People reply on others for their opinion.

It is like blowfish make itself bigger to look stronger!!!
Sometime it is refreshing to hear what is on your mind rather than trying make people believe by talking big.

Uchikura's Newsletter

Thank you for reading my newsletter. I do not want to take too much of your time. That is the reason why newsletters are short. Today I talked about web known business practice. I hope you enjoy.

Soba Shops Never Go Out of Business

There is a saying in Japan that “Soba Shops Never Go Out of Business”. Soba noodles are buckwheat noodles and are very popular in Japan. Below are the reasons why soba shops do not go out of business. Some of the things I discuss you might want to consider applying to your business.

Soba is very expensive compared to fast food in Japan
Soba has very little food loss as they can be made on demand
Soba shops serve sake to increase their revenue
Per customer spending is higher
Food appeals to all generations
People can consume soba at any time of day
Delivery is very popular
They only need to employ a small number of people
No rent, as many of them operate from the owner’s home

These are some of the things that help soba shops stay in business. Did you learn something?

***

I think there is something we all should learn to mimic what Soba shops are doing for hundreds of years. You can subscribe to my newsletter at https://www.uchikura.co
