The crypto world is a world of privacy.

With the development of the internet, data and information is easily released and spread on the network, this sometimes brings less privacy to our personal data. Under such an environment, our demand for privacy becomes much higher. When visiting website, we prefer HTTPS; When chatting, we favor encrypted IM software.

In the Crypto world, privacy is also a significant feature. Privacy is one of the main reasons why people choose to interact with cryptocurrencies.

Mining encryption can now be realized and actually applied by miners through adoption of TLS to encrypt the mining process.

How does TLS work?

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the successor of the now-deprecated Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network. Several versions of the protocol are widely used in applications such as email, instant messaging, and voice over IP, but its use as the Security layer in HTTPS remains the most publicly visible.

The TLS protocol aims primarily to provide privacy and data integrity between two or more communicating computer applications. It runs in the application layer of the Internet. TLS is a proposed Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard, first defined in 1999, and the current version is TLS 1.3 defined in August 2018. TLS builds on the earlier SSL specifications (1994, 1995, 1996) developed by Netscape Communications for adding the HTTPS protocol to their Navigator web browser.

Poolin supports TLS protocol.

To better secure mining data, Poolin has already supported TLS since July 2019. So, why worry about potential information leaks or snooping by others when you can encrypt it with a simple configuration?
