The HPE 3PAR OS must be configured to implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography for the following: To provision digital signatures, to generate cryptographic hashes, and to protect unclassified information requiring confidentiality and cryptographic protection in accordance with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, and standards.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The operating system must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards approved by the federal government, since this provides assurance they have been tested and validated. The HPE 3PAR OS can be configured to use FIPS validated cryptographic methods for communications secrecy. It also has an encryption license feature that controls the handling of Self-Encrypting backend drives, which requires an authorized service provider for install and activation.
