If you're concerned about the security of your online communications, enabling the TLS 1.2 protocol is crucial. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of enabling TLS 1.2 on your system. Let's get started!

What is TLS 1.2 Protocol?

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that ensures secure communication between two applications over a network. TLS 1.2 is the most recent version of this protocol and offers robust security features to protect your data from potential threats.

Step 1: Check your Browser Settings

Before proceeding with enabling TLS 1.2, you need to ensure that your browser settings are compatible with this protocol. To check:

  • Open your browser and go to the Settings menu.
  • Look for the Security or Advanced Settings tab.
  • Check if the TLS 1.2 option is enabled. If not, enable it.

Step 2: Update your Browser

If your browser doesn't support TLS 1.2, it is essential to update it to the latest version. Follow these steps to update your browser:

  • Open your browser and go to the Help or About section.
  • Check for any updates available and download/install them.
  • Once the update is complete, restart your browser.

Step 3: Enable TLS 1.2 in Windows

Enabling TLS 1.2 protocol on Windows involves modifying the system registry. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  • Press the Windows key + R simultaneously to open the Run dialog box.
  • Type 'regedit' and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
  • Navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2
  • If the TLS 1.2 key doesn't exist, create a new key by right-clicking on the 'TLS 1.2' folder and selecting 'New' and then 'Key'.
  • Inside the TLS 1.2 key, create two new DWORD values named 'Client' and 'Server'.
  • Double-click on each value and set their 'Value data' to '1' to enable TLS 1.2.
  • Exit the Registry Editor and restart your computer.

Step 4: Test the TLS 1.2 Connection

Now that you have enabled TLS 1.2 on your system, it's important to verify if the connection is established properly. To do this:

  • Open your browser and visit a website that requires a secure connection.
  • Check if the website indicates the use of a secure connection (e.g., a lock icon or 'https' in the URL).
  • If the connection is secure, congratulations! You have successfully enabled TLS 1.2.

Enabling the TLS 1.2 protocol is crucial to ensure the security of your online communications. By following these step-by-step instructions, you can easily configure your system to use TLS 1.2. Remember to keep your browser up to date and periodically check for any security updates. Stay safe online!
