Each tls configuration uses its own set of ciphers, extensions and elliptic curves.Īs an example, if you look at this screenshot, it shows the same JA3 signature for multiple different useragents.


Many servers and clients use different tls configurations, making this a good way of identifying applications, libraries and their corresponding versions. It has been created by Salesforce engineers, John B. JA3 is a method to profile the way server and clients do their SSL/ TLS handshake.
