Check Text ( C-69133r1_chk )
Navigate to Data Management >> DNS >> Grid DNS properties. Toggle Advanced Mode click on "DNSSEC" tab. Validate that all Key Signing Keys (KSK) and Zone Signing Keys (ZSK) utilize FIPS approved algorithms. When complete, click "Cancel" to exit the "Properties" screen. If non FIPS-approved algorithms are in use, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-74715r1_fix)
Navigate to Data Management >> DNS >> Grid DNS properties. Toggle Advanced Mode click on "DNSSEC" tab. Follow manual key rollover procedures and update all non-compliant Key Signing Keys (KSK) and Zone Signing Keys (ZSK) to utilize FIPS-approved algorithms.
