TLS 1.2 in .NET Framework 4.0

Solution 1:

If you are not able to add a property to system.net class library.

Then, add in Global.asax file:

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)3072; //TLS 1.2
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)768; //TLS 1.1

And you can use it in a function, at the starting line:

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)768 | (SecurityProtocolType)3072;

And, it's being useful for STRIPE payment gateway, which only supports TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2.

EDIT: After so many questions on .NET 4.5 is installed on my server or not... here is the screenshot of Registry on my production server:

I have only .NET framework 4.0 installed.

Solution 2:

Make the following changes in your Registry and it should work:

1.) .NET Framework strong cryptography registry keys

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319]
"SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319]
"SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001

2.) Secure Channel (Schannel) TLS 1.2 registry keys

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Server]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001

Solution 3:

The only way I have found to change this is directly on the code :

at the very beginning of your app you set

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

you should include the system.net class

I did this before calling a web service because we had to block tls1 too.
