Security features and enhancements
These are the security features and enhancements provided through the Early Access program.
- Automating certificate management
  HCL Domino® 12 introduces a new server task, Certificate Manager (CertMgr), that works with a new database, Certificate Store (certstore.nsf) to automate generation of TLS certificates from the Let's Encrypt® certificate authority (CA) or another third-party CA.
- Time-based one-time password (TOTP) authentication
  When users log on to a Domino Web server, you can require that they provide time-based one-time passwords in addition to their user names and passwords.
- TLS 1.0 is disabled by default
  This Early Access drop disables Domino's support for TLS 1.0 by default, leaving TLS 1.2 as the currently supported TLS protocol version.
- Support for PEM-formatted TLS host keys and certificates
  When configuring a Server document or Web Site document with a path to a keyring file, administrators can now specify text files containing PEM-formatted keys and certificates instead of ".kyr" files in the proprietary format.
- New template signing ID uses 2048-bit keys
  A new template signing ID, CN=Domino Template Development/O=Domino, provides stronger encryption using 2048-bit keys. Templates that ship with Notes and Domino 12 will be signed with the new ID.
- Two new curves supported for TLS 1.2 ciphers that use ECDHE for forward secrecy
  The TLS 1.2 ciphers that use Ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) for forward secrecy now support two new curves for forward secrecy: X25519 and X448.
