Hi All

Microsoft has announced that RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits will soon be deprecated in Windows Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide increased security.

@Early_AdopterMy thoughts are perhaps older versions of Windows, may not be able to handle larger key sizes? And certainly they would not cope with Post Quantum Cryptography algorithms neither.
