V-243228CAT IIWLAN components must be Wi-Fi Alliance certified with WPA3.Title, Check text, Discussion
Title
WLAN components must be Wi-Fi Alliance certified with WPA2 or WPA3.
Check text
Review the WLAN equipment specification and verify it is Wi-Fi Alliance certified with either the older WPA2 certification or the newer WPA3 certification. WPA3 is preferred but not required at this time.
If the WLAN equipment is not Wi-Fi Alliance certified with WPA2 or WPA3, this is a finding.
Discussion
Wi-Fi Alliance certification ensures compliance with DoDW interoperability requirements between various WLAN products.
V-243229CAT IIWLAN components must be FIPS 140-2 or FIPS 140-3 certified and configured to operate in FIPS mode.Discussion
Discussion
If the DoDDoW WLAN components (WLAN AP, controller, or client) are not NIST FIPS 140-2/FIPS 140-3 (Cryptographic Module Validation Program, CMVP) certified, the WLAN system may not adequately protect sensitive unclassified DoDDoW data from compromise during transmission.
How these changes are found
Checks are matched across the two releases by V-number. A check counts as updated when DISA gave it a new rule revision (the r number in its SV-…_rule id) and its title, severity, check text, fix text, discussion, CCIs or other fields changed — the same comparison STIG Compare makes. Added checks are new V-numbers; removed checks are V-numbers V7R3 no longer has.
