TLS 1.0 Inches Closer to Full Retirement (Nearly a Decade Later)

Microsoft Azure has pushed back its TLS 1.0 and 1.1 end-of-life date to Aug. 31, 2025. This delay is another example of how long it takes to upgrade the protocols the internet runs on.

It’s been more than half a decade since websites were told to start migrating from the TLS 1.0 protocol due to its vulnerability issues (and 3+ years since TLS 1.0 and 1.1 were officially deprecated). But it’s taking longer than expected to fully switch from TLS 1.0/1.1 to TLS 1.2 as a minimum. What’s the holdup?

Moving the entire internet from these early protocols isn’t easy — many systems depend on them. We’ll examine why these real-world security upgrades, TLS 1.2 and 1.3, are taking so long and what exactly these changes entail.

Plus, the internet is beginning an even bigger (and more challenging) migration: moving SSL/TLS to post quantum cryptography. Lessons from the past can smooth our path to the future.

Let’s hash it out.
