  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must enforce authorized access to all PKI private keys stored/used by the EDB Postgres Advanced Server.

    The DOD standard for authentication is DOD-approved PKI certificates. PKI certificate-based authentication is performed by requiring the certificate holder to cryptographically prove possession of ...

  • The DBMS must map the PKI-authenticated identity to an associated user account.

    The DOD standard for authentication is DOD-approved PKI certificates. Once a PKI certificate has been validated, it must be mapped to a DBMS user account for the authenticated identity to be meanin...

  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must record time stamps in audit records and application data that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, formerly GMT).

    If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. Time stamps generated by the DBMS must include date and time. Time ...

  • Applications must obscure feedback of authentication information during the authentication process to protect the information from possible exploitation/use by unauthorized individuals.

    To prevent the compromise of authentication information, such as passwords and PINs, during the authentication process, the feedback from the information system must not provide any information tha...

    Group
  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must use NIST FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 validated cryptographic modules for cryptographic operations.

    Use of weak or not validated cryptographic algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption and digital signatures to protect data. Weak algorithms can be easily broken and not validated cryp...

  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must be configured on a platform that has a NIST-certified FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 installation of OpenSSL.

    PostgreSQL uses OpenSSL for the underlying encryption layer. It must be installed on an operating system that contains a certified FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 distribution of OpenSSL. For other operating s...

  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must separate user functionality (including user interface services) from database management functionality.

    Information system management functionality includes functions necessary to administer databases, network components, workstations, or servers and typically requires privileged user access. The se...

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.
