  • SRG-NET-000166

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Remote Access VPN Gateway must use a separate authentication server (e.g., LDAP, RADIUS, TACACS+) to perform user authentication.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The VPN interacts directly with public networks and devices and should not contain user authentication information for all us...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000166

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The VPN Gateway must map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without mapping the certificate used to authenticate to the user account, the ability to determine the identity of the indivi...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000168

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The VPN Gateway must use FIPS-validated SHA-2 or higher hash function to protect the integrity of hash message authentication code (HMAC), Key Derivation Functions (KDFs), Random Bit Generation, hash-only applications, and digital signature verification.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. Although al...

  • SRG-NET-000169

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The VPN Gateway must uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of non-organizational users).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Lack of authentication and identification enables non-organizational users to gain access to the network or possibly a VPN ga...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000205

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The VPN Gateway must be configured to route sessions to an IDPS for inspection.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Remote access devices, such as those providing remote access to network devices and information systems, which lack automated...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000213

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The VPN Gateway must terminate all network connections associated with a communications session at the end of the session.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Idle TCP sessions can be susceptible to unauthorized access and hijacking attacks. By default, routers do not continually tes...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-NET-000230

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The VPN Gateway must use FIPS 140-2 compliant mechanisms for authentication to a cryptographic module.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified, and therefore cannot be ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000230

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The IPSec VPN must be configured to use FIPS-validated SHA-2 at 384 bits or higher for Internet Key Exchange (IKE).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. Although al...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-NET-000231

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The VPN Gateway must invalidate session identifiers upon user logoff or other session termination.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Captured sessions can be reused in "replay" attacks. This requirement limits the ability of adversaries from capturing and co...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000233

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The VPN Gateway must recognize only system-generated session identifiers.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;VPN gateways (depending on function) utilize sessions and session identifiers to control application behavior and user access...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
