I've been reading and watching some presentations about TLS and the
differences between v1.2 and v1.3 and how the handshakes occur between client and server etc.

The differences are really interesting in terms of perfect forward secrecy
and which cipher suites are in and which are not etc.

to Chime on to this .. Microsoft and most industry mail transport has abandon TLS v1.0 and 1.2. Currently Office Exchange 365 is running TLS 2.0

Interesting thanks for sharing ... yeah, I've only just started to read up on it etc. but it seemed like around the start on this year TLS v1.2 was the
main version being used but the impression I got was that v1.3 was now
adopted by by IETF in RFC 8446 and was being rolled out ...

2.0 I have not even come across yet... but I am n00b at all of this :)

TLS 1.3 is the current version of TLS everyone is working with these days
They were hoping folks would have 1.3 implemented Jan 1, 2020. I'm not
sure if that'll happen though.

This Microsoft TLS 2.0 must be Microsoft's in house TLS, hopefully it
supports TLS 1.3. I know their web browsers IE and Edge don't seem to
support it yet, but then Microsoft has always had a way of just doing
their own thing.

I'm not sure 'everyone' is... isn't half the battle trying to get people to shift to the latest standard? :)

I don't know, like Sgt Schultz says .. I know noothingg.... nooothhinggg...

Yes, different organizations have different reasons for doing what they
do. TLS 1.3 is only a year old but it's the target today. AFAIK.

Neither do I actually, I just find TLS 2.0 interesting, that's the first
I have heard of it. It's likely closed source so we in the internet
community may never know what it is, or need to know if it's used in
house.
