The IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server must enable the use of dynamic token encryption keys.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session. The dynamic token encryption key is used for encrypting authorization tokens dynamically for improved security and time-limited validity which limits the chances of a key becoming compromised. NOTE: A dynamic token encryption key can be set for an individual user or a system group.
