I’m upgrading my application to java1.8 – reason is some of our customers have started using 2048 bit encrypted certificate. But I have two concerns , please help me with these queries:
For incoming traffic:
Will customers who are still with Java 1.7 and using 1024 bit encrypted certificate be able to connect to us? – I hope there should not be any backward compatibility issue with this . But still wanted to take suggestion from you guys .
For outgoing traffic:
will we be able to connect to customers who are still using 1024 bit encrypted key.
One key point is :
We have not upgraded our certificates or anything – only upgraded my jvm – that’s it . Only those customers who are using 2048 bit encrypted key – we have stored their public key in our keystore so that they will be able to connect with us taking advantage of JDK1.8 in built support.
