Des Cipher Suites In Tls

Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions 1.0 (RFC 2246) and 1.1 (RFC 4346) include cipher suites based on the 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard) algorithm. Cipher suites are sets of instructions on how to secure a network through TLS and they provide essential information on how to communicate secure data when using HTTPS, FTPS, SMTP, and other network protocols.

3DES only provides an effective security of 112 bits. You can use this policy to temporarily retain compatibility with an outdated server by enabling 3DES cipher suites in TLS. This is a stopgap measure only and the server must be reconfigured.

The default is Use the default setting for 3DES cipher suites in TLS.
