Fields

Default 240

Use None instead of Default. Default permits only the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 or Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 protocols to be negotiated, and those options are now considered obsolete. Consequently, Default is not allowed in many organizations. Despite the name of this field, SslStream does not use it as a default except under special circumstances.

None 0

Allows the operating system to choose the best protocol to use, and to block protocols that are not secure. Unless your app has a specific reason not to, you should use this field.

Ssl2 12

Specifies the SSL 2.0 protocol. SSL 2.0 has been superseded by the TLS protocol and is provided for backward compatibility only.

Ssl3 48

Specifies the SSL 3.0 protocol. SSL 3.0 has been superseded by the TLS protocol and is provided for backward compatibility only.

Tls 192

Specifies the TLS 1.0 security protocol. TLS 1.0 is provided for backward compatibility only. The TLS protocol is defined in IETF RFC 2246. This member is obsolete starting in .NET 7.

Tls11 768

Specifies the TLS 1.1 security protocol. The TLS protocol is defined in IETF RFC 4346. This member is obsolete starting in .NET 7.

Tls12 3072

Specifies the TLS 1.2 security protocol. The TLS protocol is defined in IETF RFC 5246.

Tls13 12288

Specifies the TLS 1.3 security protocol. The TLS protocol is defined in IETF RFC 8446.

Remarks

During the handshake, the client sends a list of SSL versions and the server chooses the best matching version from that list.
