It is + also used for secure communication in various other protocols, e.g., for + protection of sensitive information exchanged with email, calendar, or + directory servers. The newer Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol is an + IETF standard based on SSL but with its own version numbering. TLS 1.0 can + be thought of as SSL 3.1, TLS 1.1 is in turn an update to TLS 1.0, etc. Newer + protocols are preferred over older ones as they provide better security and + more features. Older protocols are supported to ensure compatibility.</p> + +<p>By default, &brandShortName; will select the most secure version which is + widely supported to connect to the server. If that attempt doesn't + succeed, it will try to connect with the next older version, etc., to the + extent allowed by the settings in this panel. The connection will fail if no + protocol supported by both sides is found. You can exclude older versions + explicitly or allow newer versions which may not be widely supported yet + with the following options:</p> + +<ul> + <li><strong>Enable</strong>: Check the <strong>SSL 3.0</strong>, <strong>TLS + 1.0</strong>, <strong>TLS 1.1</strong>, and/or <strong>TLS 1.2</strong> + boxes to indicate which protocol versions can be used for a secure + connection to a server.</li> +</ul> + +<p><strong>Notes</strong>:</p> + +<ul> + <li>At least one protocol version must be selected, thus it is not possible + to uncheck the last remaining box.</li> + <li>Also, the selection must be contiguous. It is not possible to select both + SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.1 but to exclude the intermediate TLS 1.0 version.</li> + <li>You can extend the range by multiple versions. For example, if only SSL + 3.0 is currently checked and you select TLS 1.2, the TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 + versions are automatically selected as well.</li> + <li>Checkboxes may appear checked but grayed out if you cannot uncheck them + without violating these rules. Uncheck the outermost boxes to regain + access to an enclosed intermediate version.</li> +</ul> + +<h3 id="ssl_warnings">SSL Warnings</h3> + +<p>It's easy to tell when the website you are viewing is using an encrypted + connection.
