The Central Log Server must use FIPS-validated SHA-2 or higher hash function for digital signature generation and verification (non-legacy use).
Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. To protect the integrity of the authenticator and authentication mechanism used for...Rule High Severity -
The System Administrator (SA) and Information System Security Manager (ISSM) must configure the retention of the log records based on criticality level, event type, and/or retention period, at a minimum.
