Samsung Android Work Environment must be configured to enable Certificate Revocation checking.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>A Certificate Revocation List (CRL) allows a certificate issuer to revoke a certificate for any reason, including improperly issued certificates and compromise of the private keys. Checking the revocation status of the certificate mitigates the risk associated with using a compromised certificate. Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is a protocol for obtaining the revocation status of a certificate. It addresses problems associated with using CRLs. When OCSP is enabled, it is used prior to CRL checking. If OCSP could not obtain a decisive response about a certificate, it will then try to use CRL checking. The OCSP response server must be listed in the certificate information under Authority Info Access. This feature must be enabled for a Samsung Android device to be in the NIAP-certified CC Mode of operation.
