If a device isn't receiving any updates, SSL would be an issue even without the 2038 problem - eventually all the trusted root certs will be expired.

- bitwize 8y agoThere is another theory which states that this has already happened. Recently I brought up an emulated PPC running Mac OS 9. The included copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer couldn't connect to any site that used https -- and virtually everybody uses https these days.
- zrail 8y agoThat version of Internet Explorer did not support SNI, which is used by basically everything these days.
- dan1234 8y agoNot supporting SNI will get you a certificate error, but you’ll still be able to connect. What’s more likely is that old IE only supports SSLv3, which is disabled on most servers in light of POODLE. https://disablessl3.com https://disablessl3.com
