rfc5077

About this tag
RFC 5077 defines a mechanism for TLS session resumption using session tickets, reducing the need for full handshakes. On Windows, an update addressed interoperability issues between Schannel-based TLS clients and third-party TLS servers implementing RFC 5077. The update fixed a bug in schannel.dll that could cause session ticket resumption to fail, leading WinInet-based clients like Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge to fall back to a lower TLS protocol version.
