| V-22303 | GEN000590 | SV-26315r1_rule | DCNR-1 IAIA-1 IAIA-2 | Medium |
| Description |
|---|
| Systems must employ cryptographic hashes for passwords using the SHA-2 family of algorithms or FIPS 140-2 approved successors. The use of unapproved algorithms may result in weak password hashes that are more vulnerable to compromise. |
