ColdFusion must protect the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted information through the use of an approved TLS version.
Description
Discussion Text
Preventing the disclosure of transmitted information requires that the application server take measures to employ some form of cryptographic mechanism in order to protect the information during transmission. This is usually achieved through the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS), but care must also be taken to safeguard against non-FIPS approved SSL versions being used. These older versions contain vulnerabilities that have been addressed in the newer FIPS 140-2 approved TLS releases.
FIPS 140-2 approved TLS versions include TLS V1.0 or greater.
TLS must be enabled, and non-FIPS-approved SSL versions must be disabled. NIST SP 800-52 specifies the preferred configurations for government systems.
ColdFusion uses JVM to control the encryption of transmitted data. Settings for JVM can be controlled within the Administrator Console to configure the JVM to only use FIPS 140-2 approved TLS and disable non-FIPS SSL versions.
