Applications used for nonlocal maintenance sessions must implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.

| V-55265 | SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330 | SV-69511r1_rule | Medium |
| Description |
|---|
| This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead of FTP, and HTTPS instead of HTTP. If unsecured protocols (lacking cryptographic mechanisms) are used for sessions, the contents of those sessions will be susceptible to manipulation, potentially allowing alteration and hijacking of maintenance sessions. |

| Check Text ( C-55885r1_chk ) |
|---|
| Determine if the network device implements cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications. If any such communications are not protected by cryptographic mechanisms, this is a finding. |
| Fix Text (F-60129r1_fix) |
|---|
| Configure the network device to implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications. |
