Is there a difference between SSLv3 and TLSv1? How does IIS6.0 control what type of security is used for a website enabled with HTTPS?
MS says that there is a hierarchy in which the security and encryption level is negotiated before connection is established. What is this hierarchy?
Is SSLv3 available in IIS6.0 by default on Windows Server 2003?
SSL is a cryptographic protocol that uses explicit connections to establish secure communication between web server and client. TLS is also a cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication between web server and client via implicit connections. It's the successor of SSL protocol.
SSLv3 is an old version of the security system that underlies secure Web transactions and is known as the “Secure Sockets Layer” (SSL) or “Transport Layer Security” (TLS). Issue.
SSL 3.0 was deprecated in June 2015 by RFC 7568.
Secure Socket Layer version 3 (SSLv3) is a security protocol that is used to secure application protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SIP, SMTP, NNTP, and XMPP.
SSLv3 and TLSv1 are not the same, however TLSv1 is based on SSLv3.
This is a protocol which is backward compatible, and gives a way to determine which version to use according to the "handshake" that takes place between the client and the server.
