CCI-002193

The organization defines procedures or methods to be employed by the information system to prevent encrypted information from bypassing content-checking mechanisms, such as decrypting the information, blocking the flow of the encrypted information, and/or terminating communications sessions attempting to pass encrypted information.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed selects or defines, and documents the mechanism to prevent encrypted information from bypassing content-checking mechanisms, such as decrypting the information, blocking the flow of the encrypted information, and/or terminating communications sessions attempting to pass encrypted information. Alternatively, the organization may define their own procedure or method. DoD has determined the procedures or methods are not appropriate to define at the Enterprise level.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment obtains and examines the documented mechanism to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed selects or defines the mechanism to prevent encrypted information from bypassing content-checking mechanisms. DoD has determined the procedures or methods are not appropriate to define at the Enterprise level.

Compelling Evidence

1.) Signed and dated documentation that defines the procedures or methods used to prevent encrypted information from bypassing content-checking mechanisms.
