The Windows PAW must use a trusted channel for all connections between a PAW and IT resources managed from the PAW.

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Note: The Common Criteria Security Functional Requirement (SFR) FTP_ITC.1.1(1) defines "trusted channel" as "a channel that uses IPsec, SSH, TLS, or TLS/HTTPS to provide a trusted communications channel between itself and authorized IT entity that is logically distinct from other communication channels and provides assured identification of its end points and protection of the channel data from modification or disclosure." The trusted channel uses IPsec, TLS, DTLS, or HTTPS as the protocol that preserves the confidentiality and integrity of PAW communications. The confidentiality and integrity of the communications between the PAW and high-value IT resources being managed from the PAW must be protected due to the highly sensitive nature of the administrative functions being performed. A trusted channel provides the requisite assured identification of its end points and protection of the channel data from modification or disclosure.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
