WinRT (Windows Store Apps) enforcing to use Tls12 instead of SSLv3

As SSLv3 has been found to be vulnerable to the POODLE attack.

I am using Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient class to communicate with server and wanted to disable security protocol SSLv3 from client request.

Here how can I use Tls12 instead of SSLv3 in WinRT (Windows Store Apps)?

I know the way to set the security protocol version in .Net Framework 4.5. as define below.

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3;

Is there any API provided to configure security protocol in WinRT/Windows Store Apps?

Solution

  • As far as I know there is no way to configure that in WinRT. But if your counterparty enforce Tls WinRT will change as well.
