Technical Report: New BACEN Security Protocol - CIP participants

Dear Customers,

According to the INFO-CIP PCR 011/2021 newsletter, sent on 25/05/2021, it will be necessary to replace the encryption algorithm currently used by participants exchanging files with CIP.

As from 02/04/2022, the PCR (Centralised Receivables Platform) will accept both the 3DES-168 algorithm (CBC mode) and the AES-256 algorithm (GCM mode).

From 15/05/2022, PCR will only accept the new encryption algorithm AES-256 (GCM mode).

We inform PRODIST customers that the STS 7.0 Suite, which implements this and other mandatory changes, will be available from 01/09/2021 for the start of homologation tests.

Sincerely,

PRODIST Team
