BSI TR-02102-2 provides specific technical recommendations for the secure use of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to protect data in transit across networks. It serves as a detailed configuration guide, specifying approved protocol versions (prioritizing TLS 1.3), secure cipher suites, and appropriate key exchange mechanisms to maintain a high security level. This guideline is fundamentally similar to ISO/IEC 29192-3, which defines international requirements for lightweight and standard transport layer security, and it mirrors the comprehensive configuration and implementation guidance found in NIST SP 800-52. By mandating the use of strong cryptographic primitives and providing clear timelines for phasing out legacy versions like TLS 1.2, BSI TR-02102-2 ensures that network communications remain resilient against both current intercept techniques and emerging cryptographic threats.
