Description
This requirement addresses device to device authentication during remote network management sessions used to manage the IDPS components. A remote connection is any connection with a device communicating through an external network (e.g., the Internet). Remote management must be secured using cryptography; and authentication must use a bidirectional authentication method where each device is authenticated. The IDPS does not connect directly to devices on remote external networks. Remote management sessions must use the existing remote management access communications infrastructure, thus this requirement is not applicable.
