Description
To prevent untrusted certificates the certificates on a smartcard card must be valid in these ways: its issuer is system-trusted, the certificate is not expired, its "valid-after" date is in the past, and it passes CRL and OCSP checking.

Check Text ( C-94791r1_chk )
To view the setting for the smartcard certification configuration, run the following command:

sudo /usr/sbin/system_profiler SPConfigurationProfileDataType | /usr/bin/grep checkCertificateTrust

If the return is not "checkCertificateTrust = 1;" with the numeral equal to 1 or greater, this is a finding.

This setting is enforced using the "Smart Card Policy" configuration profile.

Note: Before applying the "Smart Card Policy", the supplemental guidance provided with the STIG should be consulted to ensure continued access to the operating system.
