HYCU Protege Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The HYCU virtual appliance must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used.

    Use of a complex passwords helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisti...

  • The HYCU virtual appliance must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one numeric character be used.

    Use of a complex passwords helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisti...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The HYCU virtual appliance must require that when a password is changed, the characters are changed in at least eight of the positions within the password.

    If the application allows the user to consecutively reuse extensive portions of passwords, this increases the chances of password compromise by increasing the window of opportunity for attempts at ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The HYCU virtual appliance must use FIPS 140-2-approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module.

    Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not validated and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DOD data may be...
    Rule High Severity
  • The HYCU virtual appliance must use FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to protect the integrity of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.

    Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be relied on to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DOD data may be co...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
