  • The operating system must authenticate all endpoint devices before establishing a local, remote, and/or network connection using bidirectional authentication that is cryptographically based.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without authenticating devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity. B...

  • The operating system must allow the use of a temporary password for system logons with an immediate change to a permanent password.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without providing this capability, an account may be created without a password. Non-repudiation cannot be guaranteed once an...

  • The operating system must prohibit the use of cached authenticators after one day.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.&lt;/...

  • The operating system, for PKI-based authentication, must implement a local cache of revocation data to support path discovery and validation in case of the inability to access revocation information via the network.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without configuring a local cache of revocation data, there is the potential to allow access to users who are no longer autho...

  • The operating system must verify remote disconnection at the termination of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic sessions, when used for nonlocal maintenance sessions.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If the remote connection is not closed and verified as closed, the session may remain open and be exploited by an attacker; t...

  • The operating system must implement NSA-approved cryptography to protect classified information in accordance with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, and standards.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The operating ...

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.
