How to access BOB Internet Banking with SSL/TLS error

In case you are receiving the error: ssl_error_illegal_parameter_alert  when you are trying to access Bank of Bhutan(BOB) Internet Banking then just follow the following step

In case of browser Firefox:
1. Type in address bar about:config
2. Search for security.tls.version.min and security.tls.version.fallback-limit and set the value to 0

Now open the site it will be working fine.

security.tls.version.min  value meaning:
1. 0 means SSL 3.0 is minimum/maximum supported encryption protocol.
2. 1 means TSL1.0 is minimum/maximum supported encryption protocol.
3. 2 means TSL1.1 is minimum/maximum supported encryption protocol.
4. 3 means TSL1.2 is minimum/maximum supported encryption protocol.

The above error is thrown due to SSL and TLS version which is a proactive way to combat the "POODLE" vulnerability.
