TLSv1.2, RC4 disabled

| On May 13, 2014, Microsoft announced the availability of an update

| for Microsoft .NET Framework that disables RC4 in Transport Layer

| Security (TLS) through the modification of the system registry. Use

| of RC4 in TLS could allow an attacker to perform man-in-the-middle

| attacks and recover plaintext from encrypted sessions.

| As of October 13, 2015, Microsoft is broadening the affected software

| list to include Windows 10 systems that are running .NET Framework

| 3.5 applications and systems with .NET Framework 4.6 installed that

| are running .NET Framework 4.5/4.5.1/4.5.2 applications.

TLS has been updated from 1.0 to 1.2
