2016 Technical Updates

[ajaffi]

Hello,

A client uses Authorize.net and received information regarding an upcoming technical update. Will we be needing to update our SSL certificate chain (or anything along those lines) in order to work with the update impending update?

We currently utilize GeoTrust (DV SSL CA - G4). The connection uses TLS 1.2. The connection is encrypted and authenticated using AES_128_GCM and uses ECDHE_RSA as the key exchange mechanism.

Any assistance will be appreciated; thanks in advance.

@ajaffi You shouldn't have to make any changes to your certificate or TLS setup. In fact, I laud you for using TLS 1.2 with GCM and ECDHE -- that's wonderful news!

For connecting to our services, before and after the Akamai updates, you will want to make sure you can support our certificates. Details may be found in this blog post.

Also, please review our Akamai FAQ regarding the switch to Akamai SureRoute that we will be making on June 30.

We should be posting an Akamai SureRoute Technical FAQ soon, with more details on that front.
