Perhaps the most important cryptographic protocols for establishing a secure channel over the Internet are Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, sometimes referred to as SSL/TLS. As they have evolved significantly over time, your task seeks to understand and compare the latest version, TLS v1.3, to its predecessors. What was the motivation and the design considerations for the latest version? What are the main differences, advantages or disadvantages? What problems might be caused by the availability of several different SSL/TLS versions on the Internet? Compare TLS v1.3 with its predecessors in terms of their:
a) Security services;
b) Cryptographic primitives and algorithms supported; and
c) Key management
