On July 17, 1998 Microsoft released an updated version of Schannel.dll.
This latest version provides the following benefits:
- Resolves the vulnerability in SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher of Bell Labs.
- Banks outside the U.S. and Canada can now use extremely strong 128-bit encryption.
- Eliminates the need for separate SGC and non-SGC versions of Schannel.dll.
- Corrects the "Bad Password" error message
- Includes an updated version of Sgcinst.exe that corrects the problem where SGCINST appears to execute but SGC does not work. For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
