Assessment Title
Rule Text
OL 9 must only allow the use of DoW PKI-established certificate authorities (CAs) for authentication in the establishment of protected sessions to OL 9.
Description
Discussion Text
Untrusted CAs can issue certificates, but they may be issued by organizations or individuals that seek to compromise DoW systems or by organizations with insufficient security controls. If the CA used for verifying the certificate is not DoW approved, trust of this CA has not been established.
The DoW will only accept PKI-certificates obtained from a DoW-approved internal or external certificate authority. Reliance on CAs for the establishment of secure sessions includes, for example, the use of SSL/TLS certificates.
