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