In order to conform to the higher security standards being implemented in the financial industry, CoreLogic Flood Services will discontinue support of the 40-bit and 56-bit SSL encryption protocols in mid-July. All secure communications will require at least 128-bit encryption.

"This step will create an exponentially more secure data environment," says Glenn Kronschnabl, chief technology officer of CoreLogic Flood Services. "Since most Web browsers and SOAP user agents already employ the 128-bit encryption technology, the change will be transparent to most of our clients."

To allow for client testing, CoreLogic has already discontinued the low security encryption protocol on our beta testing portals, beta.floodcert.com and betasoap.floodcert.com. Clients are strongly encouraged to test their application and browser communications with these FloodCert beta portals as soon as possible to confirm that the higher encryption standard won't create any problems with their production traffic.
