Assessment Title
Rule Text
The macOS system must implement approved ciphers within the SSH server configuration to protect the confidentiality of SSH connections.
Description
Discussion Text
Operating systems using encryption are required to use FIPS-compliant mechanisms for authenticating to macOS.
For OpenSSH to utilize the Apple Corecrypto FIPS-validated algorithms, a specific configuration is required to leverage the shim implemented by macOS to bypass the non-FIPS validated LibreSSL crypto module packaged with OpenSSH. Information regarding this configuration can be found in the manual page "apple_ssh_and_fips".
