The Cisco ASA remote access VPN server must be configured to use SHA-2 at 384 bits or greater for hashing to protect the integrity of IPsec remote access sessions.

Description
Without strong cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. SHA-1 is considered a compromised hashing standard and is being phased out of use by industry and Government standards. DOD systems must not be configured to use SHA-1 for integrity of remote access sessions. The remote access VPN provides access to DOD nonpublic information systems by an authorized user (or an information system) communicating through an external, non-organization-controlled network.

Check Text (C-239978r916146_chk)

Verify that the ASA uses SHA-2 at 384 bits or greater for hashing to protect the integrity of IPsec remote access sessions as shown in the example below. Step 1: Verify that SHA-2 at 384 bits or greater is used for IKE Phase 1 as shown in the example below. crypto ikev2 policy 1 … … … integrity sha384 Step 2: Verify that SHA-2 at 384 bits or greater is used for the IPsec Security Association. crypto ipsec ikev2 ipsec-proposal IPSEC_TRANS protocol esp integrity sha-384 If the ASA does not use SHA-2 at 384 bits or greater for hashing to protect the integrity of IPsec remote access sessions, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-43170r916136_fix)

Configure the ASA to use SHA-2 at 384 bits or greater for hashing to protect the integrity of IPsec remote access sessions as shown in the example below. ASA1(config)# crypto ikev2 policy 1 ASA1(config-ikev2-policy)# integrity sha384 ASA1(config-ikev2-policy)# exit ASA1(config)# crypto ipsec ikev2 ipsec-proposal IPSEC_TRANS ASA1(config-ipsec-proposal)# protocol esp integrity sha-384 ASA1(config-ikev2-policy)# end
