AWS amazonswf high security documentation change
Summary
Updated TLS requirements from 1.2+ to 1.0+ and added cipher suite details
Security assessment
Lowering TLS requirement from 1.2 to 1.0 introduces weaker security standards (TLS 1.0 is deprecated), making this a security-related documentation change
