Title
The operating system must issue or obtain public key certificates under an appropriate certificate policy from an approved service provider. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
DoD-approved certificates must be installed to the System Keychain so that they will be available to all users. For user certificates, each organization attains certificates from an approved, shared service provider, as required by OMB policy. For federal agencies operating a legacy public key infrastructure cross-certified with the Federal Bridge Certification Authority at medium assurance or higher, this Certification Authority will suffice. This control focuses on certificates with a visibility external to the information system and does not include certificates related to internal system operations, for example, application-specific time services.
Check Content
To view a list of installed certificates, run the following command: sudo security dump-keychain | grep labl | awk -F\" '{ print $4 }' If this list does not contain approved certificates, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Obtain the approved DOD certificates from the appropriate authority. Use Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities to add certificates to the System keychain.
