At OverDrive, TLS protects the privacy of your data, including library card information. TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 date back to 19, respectively, and have since been replaced on most devices by TLS 1.2, which addresses weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the earlier versions. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the technology that keeps data private when it is sent over a secure (https) internet connection. OverDrive will end support for devices that use the outdated TLS 1.0 and 1.1 security protocols. Because of these upgrades, OverDrive will no longer be able to support older devices that do not meet the newer standards. OverDrive is updating their data protection and security protocols, which includes upgrading to more current technologies that offer more secure standards. You just won’t be able to download ePub formats to the OverDrive app on your device. Please note: Current Libby users on Android devices should not be impacted, as Libby’s minimum system requirements were already raised to Android 5 in June 2020.Īlso, users of early Kindle Fires and Kindle eReaders that don't support TLS 1.2 will still be able to transfer and read Kindle format ebooks using your devices. If you use this method, you won't be able to use the OverDrive app. You can also choose to only update your device's browser to a version that supports TLS 1.2, which will allow you to use OverDrive websites in your browser. To continue to use the OverDrive app or the OverDrive website on your device, affected customers will need to either update their device's operating system (if possible) to a version that supports TLS 1.2 or switch to a device that supports TLS 1.2. After October 30, 2020: The OverDrive app and OverDrive websites will no longer work on devices that don't support TLS 1.2.October 30, 2020: OverDrive will end support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1.These devices were released in 2014 or earlier:
