Eurex Clearing Readiness Newsflash | C7 Technology – AMQP: Decommissioning of unsupported ciphers and update of documentation

Dear Clearing Member,

With this newsflash, Eurex Clearing announces the decommissioning of cipher suites supported by AMQP brokers due to security reasons. Ciphers define the combination of encryption and authentication algorithms used to secure the connection to Eurex Clearing AMQP brokers.

With effect in simulation as of 18 July 2022 and in production as of 19 September 2022, the following ciphers will no longer be supported:

  • SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA

In order to ensure that unsecured ciphers are not being used, Clearing Members need to use the latest versions of the TLS software.

Please note that the Eurex Clearing FIXML interface only supports version 1.2 and above, as announced in Eurex Clearing Readiness Newsflash | C7 Release 8.0: Reminder: Decommissioning of FIXML Java Broker protocols TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1

Please refer to the updated documentation:

  • Eurex Clearing Messaging Interfaces A: Connectivity v.1.1
  • Eurex Clearing Messaging Interfaces Connectivity E: AMQP Setup & Internals v.1.1

All relevant technical documentation can be found there and on the Eurex Clearing website in the following location: Support > Technology > C7.

If you have any further questions or comments, please send an e-mail to the Technical Clearing Key Account Manager at cts@deutsche-boerse.com.

Kind regards,

Your Client Services Team
