TLS v1.2 upgrade

TLS v1.2 upgrade

Hello everyone, 

We(Zoho Creator) want to let you know that we are upgrading our TLS standards to the latest version 1.2 which is more secure and meets the updated PCI standards. We will be retiring the support for TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 on 31 August 2018. After this date, all our users will be required to update their processing solutions to TLS v1.2 for the secure transfer of data with us. 

 

What is TLS?

Transport Layer Security (TLS), formerly Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), is the old security standard for setting up connections between systems. It requires encrypting information in transit to ensure privacy, and authenticating the systems involved to make sure information doesn't end up in the wrong hands.

 

Why is this update necessary?

TLS doesn't meet security standards anymore. It has some vulnerabilities without viable solutions, so it's being replaced with a more secure protocols.

According to PCI standards, TLS v1.2 is the most advanced protocol yet as it eliminates the vulnerabilities faced by the previous versions, i.e, TLS v1.0 and v1.1. All users who use secure servers and browsers to access the data and API from Zoho are expected to make this update to enjoy a seamless flow of secured data. If you are using a Webhook to link an external site, you are required to support HTTPS and TLS v1.2 to receive webhooks from Zoho.
