The Secure Sockets Layer version 3.0 (SSLv3), as specified in RFC
6101, is not sufficiently secure. This document requires that SSLv3
not be used. The replacement versions, in particular, Transport
Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 (RFC 5246), are considerably more secure and
capable protocols.
This document updates the backward compatibility section of RFC 5246
and its predecessors to prohibit fallback to SSLv3.
This document is a product of the Transport Layer Security Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
