Prose
The Horizon Connection Server must only use FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules.
High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Encryption is only as good as the encryption modules utilized. Unapproved cryptographic module algorithms cannot be verified and cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data may be compromised due to weak algorithms or poor implementation. The Horizon Connection Server can be configured to exclusively use FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules but only at installation time, not post deployment. Reference VMware documentation for up-to-date requirements for enabling FIPS in Horizon View.
