Install crypto-policies package
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The crypto-policies package can be installed with the following command:
$ sudo yum install crypto-policies
Rationale
Centralized cryptographic policies simplify applying secure ciphers across an operating system and the applications that run on that operating system. Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data.
