CA API Gateway ALG STIG:
CAGW-GW-000180
(in versions v1 r2 through v1 r1)
Title
The CA API Gateway that stores secret or private keys must use FIPS-approved key management technology and processes in the production and control of private/secret cryptographic keys. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Private key data is used to prove the entity presenting a public key certificate is the certificate's rightful owner. Compromise of private key data allows an adversary to impersonate the key holder. Private key data associated with software certificates, including those issued to an ALG, is required to be generated and protected in at least a FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validated cryptographic module. By default, the CA API Gateway uses the SunJSSE PKCS#12 for key storage, which is not approved at FIPS 140-2. The Gateway must be configured to use a SafeNet Luna Hardware Security Module (HSM) that is approved at FIPS-140-2 Level 3.
Check Content
Verify an HSM, such as the SafeNet Luna HSM, is currently storing Private Keys. If an HSM is not present, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Refer to the “CA API Management Documentation Wiki" at https://wiki.ca.com/display/GATEWAY90/CA+API+Gateway+Home for directions on configuring the CA API Gateway to use a SafeNet Luna HSM for secure private key storage.
