ARBA-ND-000265 - AOS must use FIPS 140-2/140-3 approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module.

Information

Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not validated and therefore cannot be relied on to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DOD data may be compromised.

Network devices using encryption are required to use FIPS-compliant mechanisms for authenticating to cryptographic modules.

FIPS 140-2/140-3 is the current standard for validating that mechanisms used to access cryptographic modules use authentication that meets DOD requirements. However, authentication algorithms must configure security processes to use only authentication algorithms that are FIPS-approved and recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Satisfies: SRG-APP-000179-NDM-000265, SRG-APP-000224-NDM-000270, SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330, SRG-APP-000412-NDM-000331

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Configure AOS with the following commands:
configure terminal
fips enable
write memory
reload
