Thank you, the documentation you provided is excellent, yes you are right as far as I can see from my testing you can't prefer 256 bit without disabling 128. But thanks anyway I am going to stick to 128bit for the time being.

sorry I couldn't give you a better answer, but IIS is not particularly configurable in this matter :(

Hi,<br />
<br />
I want to enable 256bit encryption which my SSL certificate is capable of for Windows 2008 R2 server. With IIS7 to do 256 bit encryption, we have to ensure the cipher suit that is listed first is the following: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_S<wbr />HA, if I do this will old browsers / systems still be able to connect with legacy 128bit?<br />
<br />
I don't want to stop people who can only achieve 128bit from connecting and using the website. How can I ensure that the site is 256bit and 128bit compatible?

Hi,

I want to enable 256bit encryption which my SSL certificate is capable of for Windows 2008 R2 server. With IIS7 to do 256 bit encryption, we have to ensure the cipher suit that is listed first is the following: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, if I do this will old browsers / systems still be able to connect with legacy 128bit?

I don't want to stop people who can only achieve 128bit from connecting and using the website. How can I ensure that the site is 256bit and 128bit compatible?

Is 256bit SSL backwards compatiable with legacy 128bit?

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.

Internet Protocols
