BetaNews | IE7 to Beef Up Secure Web Surfing: "Internet Explorer 7 will come with several security enhancements to HTTPS connections, a Microsoft program manager said on the IE Blog over the weekend. Chief among the changes is the disabling of the SSLv2 protocol by default in favor of the stronger-encryption available through TSLv1.
'Generally, IE users will not notice any difference in the user-experience due to this change; it's a silent improvement in security,' program manager Eric Lawrence wrote. He said that few sites still require SSLv2, and upgrading to SSLv3 or TSLv1 is generally a simple migration on most sites."
