ARBA-VN-001090 - AOS, when used as an IPsec VPN Gateway, must use Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption for the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) proposal to protect confidentiality of remote access sessions.
Information
Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session.Remote access is access to DOD nonpublic information systems by an authorized user (or an information system) communicating through an external, nonorganization-controlled network.
AES is the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)-validated cipher block cryptographic algorithm approved for use in DOD. For an algorithm implementation to be listed on a FIPS 140-2/140-3 cryptographic module validation certificate as an approved security function, the algorithm implementation must meet all the requirements of FIPS 140-2/140-3 and must successfully complete the cryptographic algorithm validation process. Currently, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has approved the following confidentiality modes to be used with approved block ciphers in a series of special publications: ECB, CBC, OFB, CFB, CTR, XTS-AES, FF1, FF3, CCM, GCM, KW, KWP, and TKW.
Satisfies: SRG-NET-000317-VPN-001090, SRG-NET-000371-VPN-001650, SRG-NET-000400-VPN-001940, SRG-NET-000525-VPN-002330
NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
