The operating system must employ FIPS validated cryptography to protect information when it must be separated from individuals who have the necessary clearances, yet lack the necessary access approvals.

V-33160	SRG-OS-000172-NA	SV-43558r1_rule		Medium

Description
Cryptography is only as strong as the encryption modules/algorithms employed to encrypt the data. Rationale for non-applicability: For the purposes of this SRG, a mobile operating system is assumed to support a single human-accessible user account. How that user obtains information without having the proper access approvals is an OPSEC concern, not a technical control on a mobile device.
