IT: Hotmail not responding.
In the past few days, I have been experiencing 'not responding' problem whenever I try to load and use Hotmail. At first, I though it might be caused by JavaScript, but later it turned out this problem is actually related to SSL Cache. The reference to solve this problem can be found [here].
From Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Content -> Clear SSL State.
According to the information provided by [Microsoft]. This 'Clear SSL State' feature is used for Client Authentication.
Server Authentication is that we clients/users check server certificates before we can trust the web sites. Client Authentication works in a similar way in that the server applications need to authenticate the client or user, for example, ask for proper client certificates, before they can further process the client requests. Usually when we do online banking or e-commerce transactions, only Server Authentication is used. We customers are very concerned about the credibility of the servers. That's why we need to check and validate those certificates sent from the servers. In the meantime, the server side applications only use some web protocols such as some special login tokens to verify client users. Most of the time, this is OK. But in some situations where a higher level of security is needed, for example, only those requests from a specific computer are allowed, then Client Authentication needs to be applied.
Some banks do provide Client Authentication as an optional choice.
