As of 12 September 2019, testing the Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protocol version 1.2 will be enabled in our customer test environment.
Please forward this information to your technical expert or to your bank connection software provider.
In the customer test environment of the Web Services channel, you can send or receive any payment data of your company between your own software and the bank. With such tests, you can ensure that the TLS encryption protocol will indeed protect data communication also in the production environment. If you need more information, please read:
Web Services can’t be used with old versions
Please note that after support for the old versions of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protocol ends, the old versions can no longer be used for transmitting companies’ payment data via the Web Services channel.
What is Transport Layer Security (TLS)?
TLS is a data security protocol that ensures the protection and integrity of data between two communicating applications. It is widely used in web browsers and other applications requiring secure transfer of data over the network.
Why does support for old TLS versions end?
This change will improve data security. With the change, we are preparing for known and unpublished data security vulnerabilities.
