The status variables listed on this page relate to encrypting data during transfer with the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. Often, the term Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is used interchangeably with TLS, although strictly speaking, the SSL protocol is a predecessor to TLS and is no longer considered secure.

For compatibility reasons, the TLS status variables in MariaDB still use the Ssl_ prefix, but MariaDB only supports its more secure successors. For more information on SSL/TLS in MariaDB, see Secure Connections Overview.
