Security changes for the Vonage Video API

Vonage is deprecating and replacing some of the old cipher suites used by our SIP Interconnect infrastructure used in our Video API.

Video API Customers using secure transport protocol, such as TLS, to carry SIP (aka SIP over TLS) traffic may be affected.

Customers running SIP traffic over other transport protocols such as TCP or UDP, are not affected.

The list of new ciphers can be found in this knowledge base article.

These new ciphers are already active and the old ciphers will be deprecated by 1 September 2020, please make sure you have moved over to using the new ones by then.

We strongly recommend that you verify the new ciphers are supported by your SIP infrastructure as soon as possible. If you work with SIP service providers, please verify support for the new ciphers with them.

If you are planning to upgrade to SIP-TLS before 1 August 2020, Vonage recommends to use the new cipher list for better security and avoid any service disruption.
