| Description |
|---|
| The communication between the SAN management consol and the SAN fabric carries sensitive privileged configuration data. This data's confidentiality will be protected with FIPS 140-1/2 validate algorithm for encryption. Configuration data could be used to create a denial of service by disrupting the SAN fabric. The storage administrator will configure the SAN to use FIPS 140-1/2 validated encryption algorithm to protect management-to-fabric communications. |
