****** Currency: support macOS version 15 (Sequoia) ******

IBM FIPS Provider 140-3 with TLSv1.3 support
The Remote Control Server is using the IBM Java JCE FIPS 140-3 Cryptographic Module (IBMJCEPlusFIPS).
The FIPS 140-3 cryptographic security standard from the US government supersedes the previous version, FIPS 140-2 standard.
With the adoption of the IBM Java JCE FIPS 140-3 Cryptographic Module the Remote Control Server now supports FIPS with TLS 1.3.
The usage of NIST SP 800-131A has been deprecated.
Linux RHEL/SUSE targets are now supported with native 64-bit version packages
Linux Remote Control targets are now supported for 64-bit architecture. We no longer require installing 32-bit compatibility libraries.
Hostname Verification
The Remote Control Server now performs hostname verification on SSL certificates. This means that the runtime checks of hostname or IP address from the component certificate’s Subject Alternative Name (SAN) match the hostname or IP address that was used when establishing the connection.
