Same here. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4583503/november-2020-updates-for-microsoft-office MS ignores the self-set endpoint? BTW.: I have a problem with 20H2. Short description: Defenders protection history is totally empty, even with found and quarantine EICAR-Test virus. So there is absolutely no chance to get back a file from quarantine, no option to do the job.

I just wanted to warn, nothing more. Everything may be fine, but do you really know? I do not. What e.g., when the "old" XP encryption is broken and not safe anymore? Only just food for thought.

Ok, so I understand you correct. Sorry, but only replacing a file with an older one... Do you know, what this may done in the question of the real security? To complex. If you only have the feeling it will be ok, than it might be a nightmare... I see it very difficult to use inbuild XP encryption for any security use. XP is gone for this work. (look at my signature, I have done something to hold XP alife, but now...)

I read the thread (Beware of Office 2010 Updates!) And understood that you are trying to decrypt or encrypt Word files in XP. And that's broken with the two TLS updates for POS. If that is the correct short summary (otherwise please correct) then I think your conclusion is wrong. From my point of view, current TLS support is more important than working with Word encryption under XP POS. Or why do you have to rely on XP + Word? The subject of "encryption" and "data security" using XP seems a bit strange anyway - XP is becoming more and more insecure. And then to leave out the few updates with new and improved encryptions just because Word has a problem with them ... Hmmmm ... Then it's better to use a current OS + Word.

Java SE RE 8 Update 261 is out

Java SE Runtime Environment 8u231 is online.

@Fritz_Geiger I don't really know. But I think no. HTTPSProxy is not compiled. It is built with pyInstaller, which combines the required runtime environment from Python, the required modules, and the Python script. In this respect, support for older processors depends directly on the version of Python and the modules that still support it. These versions should be very old and support the functions required here no longer, certainly not safe nenough. And I'm sorry, because of a lack of hope and low demand: I can't and won't test this case. I don't even have an old machine...

You can try to run the standalone setup file as admin. 32 or 64 bit doesn't matter, the file only have to be the same as the office suite. But I am not sure that this solve the problem (no Win 10 here)

NO. From Sep 11, 2019 (look in the top line).

Three new updates. kb4464566 is faulty. Again, Outlook does not start, there is an error message. Uninstallation kb4464566 has helped.

New version released: 32.0.0.255

I have randomly freezes of the system short time after startup and a first connect to the network. Often after I used the power switch to shut down, very few times when I used the soft shut down. So I am looking for the older Fix kb2963522 with file Netman.dll version 5.1.2600.6557 in German (if it is language dependent). Can somebody help?

Here is a modified REG, see the comments. I have many non edited keys deleted, so do not use it as install ressource. It is used to switch from v201 to v211, Java program home path is "C:\Programme\Java". I hold the latest under XP working v151 MSI file for deinstallation in the personal program data path. Be carefull, it is all I edit in the registry, may be you need other / more / less key names...

I use the german version an had to fix the problem. Office 2010 updates won't run without fix (uninstall or register dll)

Thanks for this information. It saved me from hours of searching the error...

Well, if it is so then here is the solution... @glnz forward all to yourself

https://pypi.org/project/cryptography/ "Cryptography is a package which provides cryptographic recipes and primitives to Python developers." Eg. it is used in the project "HTTPSProxy" which provide actual TLS protocols to XP. Here the discussion about begins: @heinoganda and I have build versions of the proxy (eg. see my signature). With cryptography > 2.4.2 we get errors in Python 3.4.4 (the latest for XP), the proxy will not run. The original python script of the proxy will be found here: https://prxbx.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2191&pid=19252#pid19252

Of course not Ok, I understand your plan. That's how I do it, too. OK, I fully understand all of You. Go ahead!

I am very interested in this discussion. But I wonder that you are constantly try to workaround a security-related application just because you want to make a particular version work? It's just too many security risks. I would never use files from foreign sources here. Prefer to get along with cryptography 2.4.2 for a while. Even cryptography, which is maintained by a large number of developers, is described here by the programmers themselves as not harmless, see: https://cryptography.io/en/latest/hazmat/bindings/openssl

No no. I have a - hm - paranoid relationship with the internet I am not in any of this Asocial media like Facebook, don't share much personal data - but I can share many informations (eg here) and I don't use encryption of email very much, only sometimes. On online banking I am using only very strange encryption / software / security equipment like smartcard authentication + pin. So it still depends on the data I give away... And I am informed about the real security issues, trust not the blahblah about Win10 is a safe OS

#1 May be. Let me explain it differently, a little futuristic (only a thought). A large amount of money (the data) is to be kept safely in a different location. 1. "encrypted transport" I hire a totally safe transport company to put the money in their armored vehicle and they drive it to the bank. As long as no one breaks in, that's quite safe, but if it is so, then the money is gone. At the bank, the money can be seen again as normal, to count, it is stored there as money in the safe. 2. the other possibility: "encrypt the money!" I convert the money into another "thing" (a little grey stone?), which is completely worthless to others. Only I know of a way to turn the worthless thing back into the valuable money. Now I can drive it with a normal car to the bank safe, nobody do know about what it is or the value it has... Don't think about stolen this thing, I have a copy of it at home, in my pocket, grandma has one ... And one of the the copies is enough to get it back full... But if I lost the knowledge about the way to turn the worthless thing back... Huh... #2 shure?

#1 Yes (if you are anxious or want to store very personal data there) or you do it as a precaution. #2 No, if the data is encrypted the mega safe connection brings no higher safety for this data.

And this is full encrypted data as it will be shown at the "other side". I have the key to encrypt this message, no one else... If I give the key away so you can encrypt this data it will be unsafe again. -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- hQEMA8przaPfIOM9AQgAnIjm3hKawEVkIQuNWSs+b2s1ZJQRP5+QDKBDGWw3MAwF 9Qsnl1mPKZDImE3IbZqZ5fOZcBjtpz8zsfS8QigCt7lpKRLKXcVyb8R6KU71UeFS zjMyHfopAjm+1y+ntnzP+mGB0r1xjEOAghwCVU7VQUE9we0Sqpfsf1ejz4tKjCm8 MGEj4QmSMCXduNWEhrbu2ipAMvDkaoRarfXHWRf7vJw+pA9+wZQpx94wiSClEI2l VwAAeTDR7J9IxdRRF36LZ4d8+hyjwcpa2HZnVQtOoCGP+9xb0VitV/14ZFE7a5WS kd4dxSc/tS6pEt9BThvmlvRwS5T+t2bcJdS+G6SU29J/ARDFagCL0um/LoW1Hrv/ 8LUnKnCruwxv2WOxH+VdRM6hlUu0qZd25G+LHTxk9lXLRspkDawd6X8XMb1bX3bG XI8eeNb8EfWLRV9VmV+P/gJ/8A25JKXdtgXVz+Gyp1o1zbMK+AlV7SghN6dAYGBj U9HC17cTa9MLoiww8ymjog== =sa7X -----END PGP MESSAGE-----

Not if YOU do not control the encryption - and be shure YOU have set it up right. It doesn't matter wich service you choose, they are all safe, more or less, or not For excample: if you use veracrypt with high encryption you can store data on NSA file servers - may be they will be read the data in about 2.000 years You have to understand that it is a difference to send data via a safe (encrypted) connection (so aMan In The Middle can't read this transfer) or you encrypt the data before you give it away. In all cases, if you whish that the data is readable on the other side: IT IS UNSAFE (because you give it away and do not know what is done with it). This is so here in internet, the normal living...

That is a normal behavior, if the service (server) you will connect to has a certificate chain where you have deleted the root or intermediate certificate. So the connection is unsafe and will not established. This is the way it works...
