Description
FIPS 140-2/FIPS 140-3 precludes the use of invalidated cryptography for the cryptographic protection of sensitive or valuable data within federal systems. Unvalidated cryptography is viewed by NIST as providing no protection to the information or data. In effect, the data would be considered unprotected plain text. If the agency specifies that the information or data be cryptographically protected, then FIPS 140-2/FIPS 140-3 is applicable. In essence, if cryptography is required, it must be validated. Cryptographic modules that have been approved for classified use may be used in lieu of modules that have been validated against the FIPS 140-2/FIPS 140-3 standard. The cryptographic module used must have one FIPS-validated encryption algorithm (i.e., validated Advanced Encryption Standard [AES]). This validated algorithm must be used for encryption for cryptographic security function within the product being evaluated. This requirement also applies to Zero Trust initiatives.

Who does this work

8 NICE work roles and 7 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Details

Check Text (C-279011r1137983_chk)

Verify the router is configured to use a FIPS-validated cryptographic module to implement encryption services for unclassified information requiring confidentiality. If the router does not use a FIPS-validated cryptographic module to implement encryption services for unclassified information requiring confidentiality, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-83464r1137982_fix)

Configure the router to use a FIPS-validated cryptographic module to implement encryption services for unclassified information requiring confidentiality.
