Cisco ASA VPN Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The Cisco ASA remote access VPN server must be configured to use a FIPS-validated algorithm and hash function to protect the integrity of TLS remote access sessions.

    <VulnDiscussion>Without integrity protection, unauthorized changes may be made to the log files and reliable forensic analysis and discovery ...

  • The Cisco ASA remote access VPN server must be configured to generate unique session identifiers using a FIPS-validated Random Number Generator (RNG) based on the Deterministic Random Bit Generators (DRBG) algorithm.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Both IPsec and TLS gateways use the RNG to strengthen the security of the protocols. Using a weak RNG will weaken the protoco...

  • 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.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without strong cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. SHA-...
