The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN must use FIPS 140-2 compliant mechanisms for authentication to a cryptographic module.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified, and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity and DoD data may be compromised. Network elements utilizing encryption are required to use FIPS compliant mechanisms for authenticating to cryptographic modules. FIPS 140-2 is the current standard for validating that mechanisms used to access cryptographic modules utilize authentication that meets DoD requirements.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

After configuring the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) gateway and IPsec policy, the following commands configure an IPsec policy, enabling Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) using Diffie-Hellman group
14 and associating the IPsec proposal configured in the previous example.
