The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN IKE must use NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to implement encryption services for unclassified VPN traffic.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-214691 JUSX-VN-000024 SV-214691r383878_rule Medium
Description
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The network element must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards approved by the federal government since this provides assurance they have been tested and validated.
