1.14 CISC-ND-000530

Information

The Cisco switch must be configured to implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.

GROUP ID: V-220488
RULE ID: SV-220488r1026069

A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be vulnerable to a replay attack.

An authentication process resists replay attacks if it is impractical to achieve a successful authentication by recording and replaying a previous authentication message.

Solution

Configure SSH to use FIPS-validated HMAC for remote maintenance sessions as shown in the following example:

SSH Example

R1(config)#ssh macs hmac-sha2-256 hmac-sha2-512
