Check Text (C-207226r803431_chk)

Verify the VPN Gateway generates unique session identifiers using FIPS-validated Random Number Generator (RNG) based on the Deterministic Random Bit Generators (DRBG) algorithm. If the VPN Gateway does not generate unique session identifiers using FIPS-validated Random Number Generator (RNG) based on the Deterministic Random Bit Generators (DRBG) algorithm, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-7486r378300_fix)

Configure the VPN Gateway to generate unique session identifiers using FIPS-validated Random Number Generator (RNG) based on the Deterministic Random Bit Generators (DRBG) algorithm.
