New Crypto Suites Bring Perfect Forward Secrecy to Windows


Microsoft yesterday added four cryptographic cipher suites to its default priority ordering list in Windows, a move that brings Perfect Forward Secrecy to the operating system.


Update 3042058 is available for now only on the Microsoft Download Center, affording users the opportunity to test the ciphers before bringing them into their respective IT environments. The updates are available for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 32- and 64-bit systems, as well as Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 system.
