• Upgrade information

  • In previous releases, the GlideEncrypter API used the three-key Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) encryption standard, which NIST 800-131A Rev 2 has recommended against using after 2023. The following changes are taking place in the Zurich release in preparation for a full deprecation of GlideEncrypter/3DES in the future:

    • New Zurich instances can’t use GlideEncrypter. All base system scripts have been changed to use alternative encryption processes.

    • if you’re upgrading your Zurich instances, you can still GlideEncrypter, which has been updated to use AES256-GCM encryption via the Key Management Framework.

    • Learn more about 3DES deprecation in KB1704481.
