Supported TLS Versions

Secure communication depends on the Transport Layer Security (TLS) version supported by both the SOTI MobiControl deployment server and the device platform.

Note: Unless necessitated by the limitations of older mobile devices, use of pre-1.2 TLS versions is not recommended.
The SOTI MobiControl deployment server supports the following TLS 1.2 cipher suites:
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
  • TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  • TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
  • TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

The TLS version supported by each device platform is provided in the following table.

Platform/Device TLS Versions
Windows CE TLS 1.0/1.1
Android 4.2 TLS 1.0
Android 4.3 – 9.0 TLS 1.0/1.1/1.2
