For Grants.gov Production Environment - Disable Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 and 1.1 Support On May 31, 2018, Grants.gov disabled support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in the Grants.gov Production environment for our website users and S2S users (Note: TLS 1.0 was previously disabled for S2S) . Thus, Grants.gov only supports connections that have TLS 1.2 enabled in an effort to maintain a secure environment for the Grants.gov community. For our website users, if your browser does not have TLS 1.2, then you will NOT be able to access the Grants.gov website. Note: Grants.gov disabled TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in the Training environment (on March 31, 2018) to give our S2S users an opportunity to test and update their systems in preparation for the May 31, 2018 disablement of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in the Grants.gov Production environment. Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that provides communications security over a computer network. It aims to minimize the risk of sensitive data being intercepted and used for malicious purposes during the transmission over insecure networks. TLS 1.0 and 1.1 have been found by Internet Engineering Task Force (ITEF) to contain vulnerabilities and therefore will no longer be supported by Grants.gov after May 31, 2018.
