Assessment Title
Rule Text
The IBM RACF SSH daemon must be configured to use a FIPS 140-3-compliant cryptographic algorithm to protect confidential information and remote access sessions.
Description
Discussion Text
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption to protect data. Cryptographic modules must adhere to the higher standards approved by the federal government since this provides assurance they have been tested and validated.
Remote access (e.g., RDP) is access to DoW nonpublic information systems by an authorized user (or an information system) communicating through an external, nonorganization-controlled network. Remote access methods include, for example, dial-up, broadband, and wireless.
Cryptographic mechanisms used for protecting the integrity of information include, for example, signed hash functions using asymmetric cryptography enabling distribution of the public key to verify the hash information while maintaining the confidentiality of the secret key used to generate the hash.
