The Standard HTTPS Level allows the use of medium strength ciphers and
older TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols,
while the High-Security Level is restricted to strong ciphers and TLS ver-
sion 1.2 exclusively.
While Standard Mode is the default setting, the High-Security Level is preferred
(unless you require the extra compatibility), since High Security turns off TLSv1, which
has known security vulnerabilities.
B r o w s e r S u p p o r t
Note that the High Security Level requires the use of current browsers - as of July 2016,
the oldest compatible clients include:
• Firefox

27
• Chrome
®
30
• Internet Explorer
