TLS 1.2 Final Announcement

Last updated: 21-Nov-2024

Overview

Under evolving PCI requirements and collective best-practice recommendations, Verifone will exclusively use the TLS 1.2 protocol on Commander starting with base 52. (Please note that throughout the first quarter of 2020, four major web browsers are also ending support for TLS 1.1.) This means that all communications to/from the Commander will exclusively use the TLS 1.2 protocol starting February 17, 2020.

The following table lists all supported Algorithms and Ciphers. The minimum Diffie-Hellman key exchange size for all ciphers listed is 2048 bits.
