Microsoft boost encryption for Outlook Webmail and OneDrive

ENABLED PERFECT FORWARD SECRECY (PFS)

Both Outlook.com and OneDrive have been empowered with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) encryption support for sending and receiving mail between the e-mail providers.

Perfect Forward Secrecy is an encryption technique that uses randomly generated encryption key for each connection on a per-session basis, making it even more difficult for cyber attackers to decrypt the connections.

MAKE USE OF TLS

In addition to this, both inbound and outbound mail on the Microsoft’s Outlook.com service will also make use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption when communicating with other mail servers that also support TLS. This will make it more difficult for any eavesdropper to listen in to the communications.

Bugger now I have to share the source code with even more people. Countries of the world please ensure folks you send to look at said code, in fact know how to code (and not just hello world).
