Assessment Title
Rule Text
Only authenticated system administrators or the designated PKI Sponsor for ColdFusion must have access to ColdFusions private key.
Description
Discussion Text
The cornerstone of PKI is the private key used to encrypt or digitally sign information. If the private key is stolen, this will lead to the compromise of the authentication and non-repudiation gained through PKI because the attacker can use the private key to digitally sign documents and can pretend to be the authorized user.
Both the holders of a digital certificate and the issuing authority must protect the private keys. Java-based application servers, such as ColdFusion, utilize the Java keystore, which provides storage for cryptographic keys and certificates. ColdFusion uses the keystore to store private keys for ColdFusion WebSockets and for Flex Integration.
