Upgrade Cúram XML Server to TLS V1.3

The actual Cúram XML Server V8 runs with TLS V1.2.

In 2018 TLS V1.3 was introduced.

TLS V1.3 has many advantages over TLS V1.2:

  • Eliminates support for outmoded algorithms and ciphers

  • Eliminates RSA key exchange, mandates Perfect Forward Secrecy

  • Reduces the number of negotiations in the handshake

  • Reduces the number of algorithms in a cipher suite to 2

  • Eliminates block mode ciphers and mandates AEAD bulk encryption

  • Uses HKDF cryptographic extraction and key derivation

  • Offers 1-RTT mode and Zero Round Trip Resumption

  • Signs the entire handshake, an improvement of TLS 1.2

  • Supports additional elliptic curves

(Source: https://www.thesslstore.com/blog/tls-1-3-everything-possibly-needed-know/ )

TLS V1.3 is supported by Java 8.

We think an upgrade to TLS V1.3 for the XML Server is highly recommended, as this brings the Cúram security on a modern level.

The pressure of our security department and server-administrators to use TLS V1.3 will grow in the near future.
