RHEL-10-300010 - RHEL 10 must implement a FIPS 140-3-compliant systemwide cryptographic policy.

Information

Centralized cryptographic policies simplify applying secure ciphers across an operating system and the applications that run on that operating system. Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption to protect data.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000033-GPOS-00014, SRG-OS-000396-GPOS-00176, SRG-OS-000393-GPOS-00173, SRG-OS-000394-GPOS-00174

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 to use a FIPS 140-3-compliant systemwide cryptographic policy.

Set the systemwide crypto-policy to FIPS with the following command:

$ sudo update-crypto-policies --set FIPS
Setting system policy to FIPS

Note: Systemwide crypto-policies are applied on application startup. It is recommended to restart the system for the change of policies to fully take place.
