New TLS security protocol cryptographic cipher suite required for PCI-DSS compliance guidelines
December, 8

TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a security and privacy protocol applied to online data transfers. To meet the requirements of the PCI-DSS security protocols, which regulate security best practices for processing credit and debit card data, you must update the TLS cryptographic cipher suite used by your payment or anti-fraud provider to communicate with VTEX.

What changed?

After January 31, 2024, VTEX payment systems will only accept TLS 1.2 and 1.3 communication protocols using the following cipher suites:

  • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
  • ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
  • ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
  • ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384

VTEX does not support the TLS 1.0 and 1.1 protocols. Also, the previous TLS 1.2 cryptographic cipher suite will no longer be supported after this update.

What needs to be done?

You must update the cipher suite used by your payment or anti-fraud provider to communicate with VTEX payment systems to meet the requirements of the TLS 1.2 or 1.3 protocol by January 31, 2024.

After January 31, 2024, all payment or anti-fraud providers that do not use the TLS 1.2 or 1.3 protocols with the above-mentioned cipher suites will have their communications with the VTEX payment gateway interrupted.
