Now that IPFS has support for Noise, it's time to complete the process of deprecating and removing support for Secio. This issue is for tracking the rollout.

Please upgrade IPFS ASAP to stay connected! If you are having issues upgrading please let us know here.

Planned releases

Target version of Secio removal: 0.50
go-ipfs is removing support in the 0.7 release, tentatively August 25

History of security support changes

Each update contains the security protocol listed by default priority.

JS IPFS
<0.47.0: Secio
0.47.0: Secio > Noise (June 24, 2020)

Go IPFS
<0.4.21: Secio
0.4.21: Secio > TLS1.3 (May 31, 2019)
0.5.0: TLS1.3 > Secio (April 28, 2020)
0.6.0: TLS1.3 > Secio > Noise (June 20, 2020)

BREAKING CHANGES

Removal of Secio will result in the following:

  • JS IPFS nodes older than 0.47 will not be able to communicate with Go IPFS nodes >= 0.7.
  • JS IPFS nodes <0.41 will still be able to use the websocket-star servers. Those will eventually be shutdown, but no date is set.
  • Preload nodes will support SECIO until January 2021, this is to provide more time for js-ipfs nodes to upgrade.
  • Delegate nodes will remove support for SECIO. As these were added by default after Noise support was added, the impact should be minimal.

This issue is the counterpart to ipfs/kubo#7530
