How deeply does Hacking Cryptography cover TLS?

Positions TLS as an engineering recommendation but stops short of handshake, implementation, attack, or configuration detail.

TLS

As explained in Hacking Cryptography

TLS is a cryptographic protocol for securing communications over computer networks.

TLS is the practical default for securing message communications: use an established implementation and recommended protocol versions and algorithms rather than designing a custom cryptographic protocol. section 1.4

Apply TLS as an engineering safeguard:

Prefer widely used, thoroughly tested cryptographic implementations over handwritten cryptographic code. section 1.4
Select TLS versions and algorithms recommended by standards organizations and regulatory authorities. section 1.4
Treat correct integration as part of the security problem; sound primitives can still be weakened by complex interactions. section 1.4
