Abstract
At the beginning of 2020, the major browser-developing companies announced that newer software versions no more extended support for older TLS, 1.0 and 1.1. A warning message was displayed in older versions; the user could override it and enter the website. After implementing the deprecation of TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, the users can no longer enter those websites. It’s becoming more unusual for websites to exist for over ten years and keep active, but there are legacy web platforms where the cost of updating an older platform may need to be revised.
The Microsoft .NET Framework has been used for almost twenty years and is supported by Microsoft Windows operating systems. In the last years, with the development of .NET Core and the release of .NET 5, Microsoft no longer develops ASP.NET Web Forms Framework. It’s expected that existing web platforms will not run on newer operating systems from Microsoft and should be replaced and removed from active systems.
