Although the TLS 1.3 encryption protocol has been around for a while, in the Internet Engineering Task Force RFC series, we still carry the older ones even thoughsafe TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocols with us in every application we use.
The older versions of Transport Layer Security 1 and 1.1 (dating from 1999 and 2006 respectively, are almost obsolete, but Stephen Farrell of Dell EMC, and Kathleen Moriarty of Trinity College of Dublin, insist that they be abolished officially.
The Draft which has the URL "die die die" argues that the time to remove the protocols should not be somewhere in the future, but now, because developers need something to convince companies to update their projects.
The abolition of ancient protocols will nullify any excuse for projects that require support for all variants of TLS (up to TLS 1.3), greatly simplifying the lives of developers and reducing the risk of application errors using them.
It should be mentioned here that the abolition deadline given by the PCI Council expires on June 30, 2018.
The above draft also states that in addition to websites, and organizations such as 3GPP 5G, CloudFlare, Amazon and GitHub should all have completed the removal, with a final extension in July.
