| The container platform is responsible for pulling images from trusted sources and placing those images into its registry. To protect the transmission of images, the container platform must use FIPS-validated 140-2 or 140-3 cryptographic modules. This added protection defends against main-in-the-middle attacks where malicious code could be added to an image during transmission. |
