MQ Appliance messaging servers must use NIST-approved or NSA-approved key management technology and processes.
Description
Discussion Text
An asymmetric encryption key must be protected during transmission. The public portion of an asymmetric key pair can be freely distributed without fear of compromise, and the private portion of the key must be protected. The messaging server will provide software libraries that applications can programmatically utilize to encrypt and decrypt information. These messaging server libraries must use NIST-approved or NSA-approved key management technology and processes when producing, controlling, or distributing symmetric and asymmetric keys.
The most common way devices (endpoints) may connect an MQ Appliance MQ queue manager is as an MQ client. In order to ensure unique identification of network-connected devices, mutual authentication using CA-signed TLS certificates should be configured.
