The TimesTen 22.1.1.36.0 release brings a robust suite of security enhancements that cater to system administrators and developers with high standards for data protection and operational resilience.

Key highlights:

  • FIPS 140 Mode in Certificate Generation:
    The ttCreateCerts utility can now generate self-signed certificates in FIPS 140 mode, meeting stringent government and industry cryptographic requirements—a key advantage for regulated environments.
  • RSA Algorithm Support:
    RSA is now available as an asymmetric cryptographic algorithm option within ttCreateCerts, offering broad compatibility with enterprise security ecosystems and policies.
  • Expanded Cipher Suite Support:
    Both the ttInstanceCreate and ttInstanceModify utilities now support RSA cipher suites, providing greater flexibility when configuring secure connections for client/server interactions and replication traffic.
  • Advanced Operator Features for Kubernetes:
    The TimesTen Operator has been enhanced to fully leverage these new security features in containerized deployments. It now allows importing CA-signed certificates and configuring TimesTen to use them for client/server TLS encryption.
  • Automated Certificate Rotation:
    You can now automate the rotation of CA-signed certificates before expiration, minimizing manual intervention and reducing the risk of outages due to expired credentials.
  • Upgraded Third-Party Components to Address CVEs:
    This release also delivers important security by upgrading bundled third-party components—including Go, Crypto-J, 7-Zip, and InstallShield. These updates address a wide range of known vulnerabilities (CVEs), reinforcing the overall security foundation of your TimesTen deployments.

With these enhancements, the TimesTen platform continues to support security-focused teams in their efforts to implement industry best practices for encryption, compliance, and ongoing vulnerability management—helping you safeguard critical data and maintain operational confidence.
