Software Update: IIS Crypto 3.0 build 14

Nartac Software has released a new version since 2016 after a long period of silence around IIS Crypto. This is a program with which you can easily set the encryption protocols on Windows Servers. Think of which versions of tls are active, which encryptions are offered, and which hash functions may be used. It also offers some best practice templates for example for pci 3.2 and fips 140-2. For more information, we refer you to this page† The version number of this new release is fixed at 3.0 build 14 and includes the following announcement:

IIS Crypto 3.0 Released!

We are happy to announce that IIS Crypto 3.0 has been released! This version adds advanced settings, registry backup, new templates with a simplified format, Windows Server 2019 support and much more. The full change log can be found on the download page† We have also added a new support site and blog.

Thank-you to all of our beta testers and for everyone’s suggestions and support over the years. It’s much appreciated!
