Then there is nothing to be implemented.

Just turn on ssl encryption in the configuration file while supplying 
the certificate and key files.

Have a look at the configuration file, search for ssl.

On Debian systems and derivatives, everything is alread set up, but with 
snakeoil certificates. They work fine for the encryption but don't 
identify the server securely.

Ask your PKI department for the certificate and key files, if necessary. 
Red Hat doesn't supply any.

TLS is only the new name for SSL versions > 3.0, but PostgreSQL sticks 
to the old name.
