Feb 19, 2015 - This article will show you how to turn off SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 in your browser. 3.0 encryption protocol entirely, since POODLE utilizes this protocol as. For Internet Explorer 11 and states they'll completely disable SSL 3.0 in.
Microsoft today said it plans to disable support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 and 1.1 in Edge and Internet Explorer browsers. From a report: 'January 19th of next year marks the 20th anniversary of TLS 1.0, the inaugural version of the protocol that encrypts and authenticates secure connections across the web,' said Kyle Pflug, Senior Program Manager for Microsoft Edge. 'Two decades is a long time for a security technology to stand unmodified,' he said. 'While we aren't aware of significant vulnerabilities with our up-to-date implementations of TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. moving to newer versions helps ensure a more secure Web for everyone.' The move comes as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) - the organization that develops and promotes Internet standards - is hosting discussions to formally deprecated both TLS 1.0 and 1.1.

Microsoft is currently working on adding support for the official version of the recently-approved TLS 1.3 standard. Edge already supports draft versions of TLS 1.3, but not yet the approved in March, this year. Microsoft engineers don't seem to be losing any sleep over their decision to remove both standards from Edge and IE. The company cites public stats from SSL Labs showing that 94 percent of the Internet's sites have already moved to using TLS 1.2, leaving very few sites on the older standard versions. 'Less than one percent of daily connections in Microsoft Edge are using TLS 1.0 or 1.1,' Pflug said, also citing internal stats. You can check public stats on the usage of TLS 1.0 and 1.1.
Yes, please do this. Internet Explorere!? Seriously, the only reason why IE is still around is due to supporting legacy systems, such as networked attached hardware (printers, routers, switches, access points, security cameras, and more). Not all of these devices are on the public internet, so security concerns in that regard may not be as high. But their web based interfaces generally can not be updated, so are stuck using older protocols.
What is the point of even having IE around anymore, if its one and only task (supporting legacy enterprise systems) no longer functions? If that's the case, just remove IE entirely since it'll be made worthless.
I would dismantle IE anyways. If your business decided to buy a enterprise system that required IE, then it should suffer the outage for picking a poorly design product. I would also put the vendor on task to upgrade. Because if their business was around an IE Only tool even if it is 20 years old, and you havn't upgraded, you really shouldn't call yourself a tech company. I am not hating on IE (While I have reasons to do so). But if you have a tool like a web browser where its jobs is to parse and displa.
But I bet you anything they won't include an option to override unsafe TLS versions warning, and that sucks. In some cases, there are good reasons to visit unsafe 'sites' with expired certificates, that rely on TLS 1.0, or running older Java apps that use deprecated encryption algorithms. For instance, in my company, we have over 8,000 deployed servers with various versions of wikipedia.org (versions 5, 6 and 7) that are still perfectly serviceable, but that have become a massive pain in the butt to access with modern web browsers and newer JREs: some browsers just won't allow you to 'visit the page anyway' (i.e.
Firefox) and newer Java versions require a bunch of really annoying privacy configurations and a slew of impossible-to-disable warning popups to let older apps runs - despite the damn DRAC apps running quite safely behind our perfectly secure corporate VPN. It's become so annoying we now distribute a dedicated Virtualbox VM with an outdated Linux distro just to be able to access older DRACs quickly. In short, I wish developers stopped thinking they know what's good for you 100% of the time, and at least offered a configuration option to allow older, unsafe protocols to be used painlessly - even if the configuration option is difficult to set or hard to find, so long as it exists and it can be set once and for all. But they don't, because they they think they know better. If there are no practical vulnerabilities and intentionally insecure negotiation bullshit has been exorcised from browsers (It has.right?!?) what is the harm in leaving it as an option so it can be selected as backup in event of unforeseen vulnerabilities in either specifications or implementations? It's not like support for TLS 1.0 is being removed from schannel.
Arguments made about 'age' in this context are inherently unfalsifiable and don't speak to technical merit. 'Two decades is a long time for a secu.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols work to encrypt communications between client and server applications in order to keep the web secure. After its latest version, TLS 1.3, was, Microsoft that it will shut down the legacy versions of TLS (1.0 and 1.1) by default in supported Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 versions in the first half of 2020. Microsoft pointed out that it has not yet identified any significant vulnerabilities with its latest implementations of TLS 1.0 and 1.1, though it acknowledges that security loopholes may exist in third-party implementations.
The goal of the upcoming change is to help maintain general security for every internet user, with the software giant noting that the newer versions of TLS support more modern cryptography and browsers. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which develops internet standards, is also expected to. Microsoft also cited data from SSL Labs which indicates that 94% of sites have already switched to TLS 1.2 while only less than 1% of daily connections using Microsoft Edge remain on TLS 1.0 or 1.1. That means most sites are not expected to see any significant impact from the upcoming change.
TLS 1.0, the pilot version of the web security protocol, will mark its 20th anniversary on January 19, 2019. So it only makes sense for the remaining websites to transition to the latest version if they're serious about security.
