The MEM client must support retrieving encryption certificates not stored in the local trust anchor store for S/MIME purposes.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-32802 WIR-WMS-MEM-27 SV-43148r1_rule IAKM-1 Low
Description
S/MIME operations cannot be performed if the device user cannot access public encryption certificates for email recipients; therefore, if encryption certificates are not stored in the contacts list or other local certificate store, S/MIME must be able to retrieve the certificates from the GAL, GDS, or other non-local DoD sources.
