The Infoblox DNS server must implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography for provisioning digital signatures, generating cryptographic hashes, and protecting unclassified information requiring confidentiality.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards approved by the federal government since this provides assurance they have been tested and validated.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Remediation - Manual Procedure

Note: Ensure DNSSEC is configured to meet all other STIG requirements prior to signing a zone to avoid signing with an unapproved configuration.

1. Navigate to Data Management >> DNS >> Grid DNS properties. 
2. Toggle Advanced Mode and click on the "DNSSEC" tab.  
3. Configure FIPS-compliant algorithms. 
4. Follow manual key rollover procedures and update all non-compliant KSKs and ZSKs to use FIPS-approved algorithms.
