The IPsec VPN Gateway IKE must use NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to implement encryption services for unclassified VPN traffic.
Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V-97197 | SRG-NET-000510-VPN-002180 | SV-106335r1_rule | Medium |
| Description |
|---|
| Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The VPN gateway must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards approved by the federal government since this provides assurance they have been tested and validated. |
