CCI-002540

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

Implementation Guidance

Determine if cryptographic mechanisms to reduce the detection potential of wireless links to [SC-40(02)_ODP; the level of reduction to be achieved to reduce the detection potential of wireless links is defined] are implemented.

Validation Procedures

Examine: [SELECT FROM: System and communications protection policy; access control policy and procedures; procedures addressing wireless link protection; system design documentation; wireless network diagrams; system configuration settings and associated documentation; system architecture; system communications hardware and software; security categorization results; system audit records; system security plan; other relevant documents or records]. Interview: [SELECT FROM: System/network administrators; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities; system developer; organizational personnel installing, configuring, and/or maintaining the system; organizational personnel authorizing, installing, configuring, and/or maintaining internal and external wireless links]. Test: [SELECT FROM: Cryptographic mechanisms enforcing protections to reduce the detection of wireless links].
