CCI-002540

Implement cryptographic mechanisms to reduce the detection potential of wireless links to an organization-defined level of reduction.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to implement cryptographic mechanisms to reduce the detection potential of wireless links to the level of reduction defined in SC-40 (2), CCI 2539. 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 2540.

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 cryptographic mechanisms to reduce the detection potential of wireless links to the level of reduction defined in SC-40 (2), CCI 2539. 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 2540.

Compelling Evidence

1.) Configuration documentation for the information system to implement cryptographic mechanisms that achieve level of protection defined in SC-40 (2), CCI 2539. 2.) Applicable STIG/SRG checks pertaining to CCI 2540.
