Enable strong secret key requirements
Overview
This category contains privacy scripts for Windows.
These changes use Windows system commands to update your settings.
This category contains scripts that enhance system security by implementing stronger encryption key lengths. Stronger keys help prevent unauthorized data access and potential leaks. These scripts aim to protect your data when sent over network (Internet), making sure your security matches up with the latest guidelines and practices.
- Using bigger keys increases security but may not work with some old or less secure apps.
- This can make your device slower and drain the battery faster.
Be careful running these scripts. This category includes scripts with high impact:
- 🟡 Some recommended scripts only if you understand its implications. Some non-critical or features may no longer function correctly after running this this category.
- 🟢 Some safely recommended scripts. Safe-to use for any user.

Enable strong Diffie-Hellman key requirement
This script improves your security by setting the "Diffie-Hellman" key exchange to a minimum of 2048 bits. This is a secure way to exchange keys over public networks. This script only affects the SSL/TLS handshake process. The SSL/TLS handshake is a key part of establishing a secure connection over the internet. By disabling this weak algorithm, the script improves the security of the connection. By default, modern Windows versions use a 2048-bit size for Diffie-Hellman key exchanges. Sizes ...
Enable strong RSA key requirement (breaks Hyper-V VMs)
This script improves your security by enforcing a minimum of 2048 bits for RSA encryption keys ("PKCS"). RSA encryption keys play a crucial role in securing communications over the internet. The Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) define how to use RSA keys for secure communication encryption. Using keys that are too weak can expose your data to unauthorized access. This script only affects the SSL/TLS handshake process. The SSL/TLS handshake is a key part of establishing a secure conne...
