The Cryptographic network provider setting corresponds to the git config http.sslBackend command. This setting is only available at the global scope.

From the Git menu, choose Git > Settings and then select the Git Global Settings view. That view contains the Cryptographic network provider option for the current user.

Valid values are:

  • OpenSSL: use OpenSSL for TLS and SSL protocols.
  • Secure Channel: use Secure Channel for TLS and SSL protocols. Secure Channel is the native Windows solution that contains a set of security protocols that provide identity authentication and secure, private communication through encryption.
  • Unset (default): if this setting is unset, the Cryptographic network provider defaults to OpenSSL.
