Community.Norton.Com: End of Life for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 support
As of November 21st of 2018, Our Norton Community Forums (Home | Norton Community) website will no longer support the older version browsers TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 encryption protocol.
What is TLS?
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol used to establish a secure communications channel between two systems. It is used to authenticate one or both systems, and protect the confidentiality and integrity of information that passes between systems. It was originally developed as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) by Netscape in the early 1990s. Standardized by the Internet Engineering Taskforce (IETF), TLS has undergone several revisions to improve security to block known attacks and add support for new cryptographic algorithms, with major revisions to SSL 3.0 in 1996, TLS 1.0 in 1990, TLS 1.1 in 2006, and TLS 1.2 in 2008.
