Apple, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla leave TLS 1.0, 1.1

Η Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),The Google, Microsoft and Mozilla announced today that they will stop supporting TLS 1.0 and 1.1 (Transport Layer Security) in their respectivethe during the first half of 2020.

"January 19 of next year marks the 20th anniversary of TLS 1.0, the inaugural of the protocol that encrypts and validates secure connections across the web," said Kyle Pflug, Managing Director of Microsoft Edge Development.TLS

“Two decades is a long time for technology to remain secure. Although we are not aware of any significant weaknesses in the current versions of TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, upgrading to newer versions helps of a safer web for everyone".

All four programs ς – Chrome, Edge, IE, Firefox και Safari – υποστηρίζουν ήδη το ΤLS 1.2 και σύντομα θα υποστηρίξουν την εγκεκριμένη έκδοση Fina του προτύπου TLS 1.3. Ο Chrome και ο Firefox υποστηρίζουν ήδη το ΤLS 1.3, ενώ η Apple και η Microsoft εξακολουθούν να ετοιμάζονται για την υποστήριξη.

Microsoft has released statistics from SSL Labs showing that 94% of Internet sites have already switched to using TLS 1.2, leaving very few to use older versions.

"Less than one percent of daily connections to Microsoft Edge use TLS 1.0 or 1.1," Pflug announced.

Of course, Windows users and system administrators can test the effects of TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 disabling and prepare their devices and networks before the change date.

From the table of Windows find “Internet Options.” In “Advanced” uncheck the “Use TLS 1.0” and “Use TLS 1.1” options in the Security section.
