Description
If unauthorized software authentication certificates are installed on the device, then the operating system would not block malware signed by the entity that published these certificates. Such malware could be used to obtain sensitive DoD information or to further breach system security. Eliminating unapproved software authentication certificates greatly mitigates the risk of malware passing authentication controls.
