As a trading venue operator, Eurex needs to adhere to requirements regarding encryption of data during transfer via networks on public ground and the encryption of credentials during transfer via networks on non-public ground (Critical Infrastructure KRITIS) regulation.
Eurex has implemented mandatory changes regarding data transmission via the T7 trading interfaces. These changes have been made to improve the security of information transmitted via communication networks to further reduce the risk of unauthorized interception, manipulation, or misuse.
To support Trading Participants with the implementation of their security requirements, Eurex offers additional connectivity options to implement Transport Layer Security (TLS) for sensitive data in critical business areas.
The following steps will be carried out during 2023:
Session Source Location | Session type | Encryption type | Mandatory change in Simulation | Mandatory change in Production |
In Equinix FR2 co-lo facility | ETI (LF) | Payload or Password | 24.11.23 | 11.12.23 |
In Equinix FR2 co-lo facility | ETI (HF) | Password | 24.11.23 | 11.12.23 |
In Equinix FR2 co-lo facility | ETI (HF) | Payload | Not supported | Not supported |
Remote | ETI (LF) | Payload | 04.08.23 | 23.10.23 |
Remote | ETI (LF) | Password | Not applicable | Not applicable |
Remote | ETI (HF) | Not applicable | Not applicable | 23.10.23* |
