Dear Customer

This email contains details of an upgrade we would like you to make to our HTTP API. To maintain good IT security practice, we update our SSL connection policies regularly whenever significant improvements to security are available. You have received this email because you currently submit messages to our platform using SSL.

On the above date and time we will update our SSL security policy to:
Disable support for the following ciphers:

DES-CBC3-SHA
DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA

What you need to do:

In most cases no action is required, as typical SSL implementations used to connect to our platform now prefer the use of stronger ciphers.

However, if your SSL implementation only uses the ciphers DES-CBC3-SHA, DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA and DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA, then the connection to our platform would fail. Please consult your technical team to verify which ciphers your SSL implementation uses

If you have any questions or need further information please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards

Fonix Operations Team
