Our organization uses the bot Framework API to send messages to Teams, and we want to ensure that our configuration adheres to recommended security practices.

We would like to know:

  1. The exact encryption protocol version (e.g., TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) used for API communication with Teams.
  2. A list of cipher suites supported and preferred for secure data transmission with the Teams workspace API.
  3. Any guidelines for testing or verifying that our connection uses the most secure cipher suite when sending messages to Teams endpoints.

Thanks

    Microsoft Teams uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) for encrypted communication. The exact encryption protocol version used for API communication with Teams is TLS 1.2. This ensures that data transmitted between your bot and Teams is encrypted and secure.

    The supported cipher suites include those that use AES-256 (in GCM mode) for encryption, which is a strong and secure encryption method.
