CCI-002450

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to implement, for, protection of classified information: NSA-approved cryptography; for provision of digital signatures and hashing: FIPS-validated cryptography in accordance with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, and standards. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization being inspected/assessed must comply with the STIG/SRG guidance that pertains to CCI 2450. DoD has defined the cryptographic uses and type of cryptography required for each use as protection of classified information: NSA-approved cryptography; provision of digital signatures and hashing: FIPS-validated cryptography.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to implement, for, protection of classified information: NSA-approved cryptography; for provision of digital signatures and hashing: FIPS-validated cryptography in accordance with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, and standards. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization conducting the inspection/assessment evaluates the components to ensure that the organization being inspected/assessed has configured the information system in compliance with the applicable STIGs and SRGs pertaining to CCI 2450. DoD has defined the cryptographic uses and type of cryptography required for each use as protection of classified information: NSA-approved cryptography; provision of digital signatures and hashing: FIPS-validated cryptography.

Compelling Evidence
