The ISEC7 EMM Suite must use a FIPS-validated cryptographic module to provision digital signatures.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session. FIPS 140-2 precludes the use of invalidated cryptography for the cryptographic protection of sensitive or valuable data within Federal systems. Unvalidated cryptography is viewed by NIST as providing no protection to the information or data. In effect, the data would be considered unprotected plaintext. If the agency specifies that the information or data be cryptographically protected, then FIPS 140-2 is applicable. In essence, if cryptography is required, it must be validated. Cryptographic modules that have been approved for classified use may be used in lieu of modules that have been validated against the FIPS 140-2 standard. The cryptographic module used must have one FIPS-validated encryption algorithm (i.e., validated Advanced Encryption Standard [AES]). This validated algorithm must be used for encryption for cryptographic security function within the product being evaluated. EMM Suite is using the standard JCE module coming with OpenJDK 11 (included in installer) or Oracle JRE either legacy 1.8 or latest release (see https://openjdk.java.net/groups/security/). There are two module providers, IBM and RSA. The check/fix are written assuming the RSA module is used. Any FIPS 140-2 compliant JCE module (.jar) can be replaced and configured and used with EMM Suite.
