Assessment Title
Rule Text
The macOS system must limit SSH to FIPS-compliant connections.
Description
Discussion Text
SSH must be configured to limit the Ciphers, HostbasedAcceptedAlgorithms, HostKeyAlgorithms, KexAlgorithms, MACs, PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms, CASignatureAlgorithms to algorithms that are FIPS-140 validated.
FIPS 140-3 is the current standard for validating that mechanisms used to access cryptographic modules use authentication that meets federal requirements.
Operating systems using encryption must use FIPS-validated mechanisms for authenticating to cryptographic modules.
Note: For more information on FIPS compliance with the version of SSH included in the macOS, the manual page apple_ssh_and_fips has additional information.
Satisfies: SRG-OS-000033-GPOS-00014, SRG-OS-000120-GPOS-00061, SRG-OS-000250-GPOS-00093, SRG-OS-000396-GPOS-00176, SRG-OS-000424-GPOS-00188, SRG-OS-000478-GPOS-00223
