The newest revision of the PCI Security Standards Council policy, PCI-DSS 3.1 , establishes a new baseline for strong cryptography, specifically TLS (formerly SSL), required to secure payment card related traffic ? TLS 1.2.
This change must be adopted by sites which handle payment card data no later than 30 June 2016.
Both TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 have known weaknesses which make them less than ideal for protecting information.
TLS 1.2 currently meets the PCI SSC definition of ?strong cryptography?.
As a result of the PCI 3.1 changes, VPCart has released an addon toward TLS 1.2 in advance of the PCI Council requirements.
VPCart will be compatible with TLS 1.2 with the changes included in the TLS 1.2 addon.
You can download this addon from our V8 Addons page
