The operating system must use mechanisms for authentication to a cryptographic module meeting the requirements of applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance for such authentication.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-33100	SRG-OS-000120-NA	SV-43498r1_rule		Medium

Description
Encryption is only as good as the encryption modules utilized. Unapproved cryptographic module algorithms cannot be verified, and cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data may be compromised due to weak algorithms. Rationale for non-applicability: This IA control is better addressed by CCI-001141 and CCI-001145, which focus on FIPS and NSA requirements.
