For anyone using DTLS 1.2, now might be a good time to start moving to DTLS 1.3. Why is now a good time?
- It is likely that you own both the server and the client so you have full control over the migration process.
- New post-quantum authentication (ML-DSA) and key exchange (ML-KEM) algorithms will soon be coming to both TLS and DTLS but only to version 1.3 of the protocols.
- The NSA (National Security Agency) has given the guidance in CNSA 2.0 (Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0) with timelines stating these algorithms should have already been an option and tested since the beginning of 2024 in cloud services.
- Moreover, the CNSA 2.0 guidance requires that these algorithms be the default and preferred algorithms by 2025 in cloud services.
Are you selling software that uses DTLS 1.2 to the American government agencies? If so, now is the time to move to DTLS 1.3.
