TLS modernisation for a safer Internet

Released: 03 Dec 2018 by The DataWA Team

Summary

  • Are you using spatial data services? If yes, read on to find out what this change means for you
  • TLS is the acronym for Transport Layer Security; it’s a protocol that encrypts and authenticates secure connections across the web
  • TLS 1.0 and 1.1 will be formally deprecated
  • Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla have announced they plan to disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 support in their browsers in the first half of 2020
  • We will also be removing support for TLS 1.0; applications and web browsers using TLS 1.0 will not be able to connect to spatial data services (SLIP) and maps when support is removed

    • ArcGIS Online will be upgrading to TLS 1.2 in February 2019
