This ensures your applications continue using the strongest encryption available when establishing a secure connection. We recommend upgrading to SocketTools 10 and Windows 10 or later versions as soon as possible.
The oldest versions of Windows which provides support for TLS 1.2 and secure cipher suites are Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2. SocketTools 10 no longer supports secure connections on Windows XP and Windows Vista. However, it required making a permanent change to the operating system and most importantly, it did not include updated cipher suites.Īlthough the system could support the TLS 1.2 protocol with this update, Windows XP would still attempt to use outdated encryption algorithms which are no longer considered secure, causing servers to reject the connection attempt. Microsoft had previously released an update for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 which could be installed on Windows XP, adding support for TLS 1.2. The latest version of TLS that is available on the Windows XP platform is TLS 1.0 and cannot be used to establish secure connections.
SocketTools uses the Windows CryptoAPI and Schannel security provider to provide support for Transport Security Layer (TLS), which is used with secure connections.
