Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that provides secure communication over the internet by encrypting and authenticating data. TLS provides data integrity through the calculation of message digests, which are cryptographic hashes that summarize the content and structure of a message. The sender and the receiver of a message can compare the message digests to verify that the message has not been altered or corrupted during transmission. TLS also uses digital certificates, asymmetric encryption, and symmetric encryption to provide confidentiality and authentication, but these are not directly related to data integrity.
