    TS7700 - Aligned cryptographic support for TLS

    Regardless of the interface I'm using on TS7700 or TSSC, the TLS support must be the same on all interfaces like HTTPS and RYSLOG. All of them must be kept in synch and up to date (which is nowadays TLS1.3). Currently there is a mixture of possibl...
