Scheduled
On Thursday August 10th, 2017 PayTrace will be performing TLS Cipher Maintenance which will involve removal of TLS Weak/Vulnerable Ciphers per mandated PCI DSS Compliance requirement 4.1 and 6.2.

The change will have the follow impacts:

1) Strengthen the available secure communication across the public internet. PayTrace always desires to select the strongest TLS Ciphers available with a client.

2) Removal of TLS Weak/Vulnerable Ciphers.
**Low impact connection issue case** If a client only supports weak Ciphers you may experience issues connecting to PayTrace, you may need to download the security updates to acquire the stronger TLS Ciphers. This case is very limited as mainstream browsers and operating systems already support the strong TLS Ciphers.


We thank you for your understanding, as we make the changes necessary to comply with the PCI Security Standards Council regulations. If you have any questions regarding this upcoming change, please contact PayTrace Support.
