Firefox turned TLS 1.2 on by default in version 27 (February 2014).TLS 1.2 was first enabled by default in Internet Explorer 11 (October 2013).

Microsoft supported TLS 1.2 in Windows 7.Most Linux distributions and scripting languages use OpenSSL. OpenSSL added support for TLS 1.2 in version 1.0.1 (March 2012).JDK 8 (March 2014) will use TLS 1.2 as the default. We added support for TLS 1.2 in JDK 7 (July 2011) although it was not the default.Because of backwards-compatibility, clients supporting TLS 1.2 will receive improved communications and older clients will continue to function. If a lower client connects to a server running 1.2, the server will adjust. If a 1.2 client connects to a server running a lower version, the client will adjust. Compatibility with the JDK and other systemsTLS 1.2 is designed to be backwards-compatible as described in the RFC Appendix E (above). Their best practices in dealing with the TLS threat model (specifically '2.2 use secure protocols') support this move. Qualys SSL Labs has done great research in depicting a threat model for TLS.

With a new well-motivated IETF working group for encryption as well as wide industry support for TLS 1.2, the time is right to update system defaults. Compatibility with the JDK and other systems.For those that would like more details, we will cover: TLS is transparent to most users and developers. It strengthens the protection of internet communications against eavesdropping.įor those testing JDK 8 early access, this first occurred in build 122.A quick summary of TLS/SSL differences is available from yaSSL.

For a complete description of TLS 1.2, please see RFC 5246.

* Unless configured to use an algorithm that was removed for security reasons.

After upgrading the default to 1.2, systems using 1.1 and 1.0 will continue to function*. We are setting JDK 8 to use TLS 1.2 as the default for two reasons: Since that time, the industry has made considerable improvements to address interoperability and backwards compatibility.

For compatibility reasons, it is enabled by default on server sockets but disabled on clients. Support for TLS 1.2 first appeared in JDK 7 (2011). When combined with Certificate Authorities, a proper level of trust is established: we know who is on the other end of the conversation and that conversation is protected from eavesdropping/modification.

Transport Level Security (TLS) is designed to encrypt conversations between two parties and ensure that others can neither read nor modify the conversation.
