Vulnerability discussion

Without the use of PKI systems to manage digital certificates, the operating system or other system components may be unable to securely communicate on a network or reliably verify the identity of a user via digital signatures.

Check content

The operator will ensure that a DoD approved PKI system is installed, configured, and properly operating. Ask the operator to document the PKI software installation and configuration. If the operator is not able to provide a documented configuration for an installed PKI system or if the PKI system is not properly configured, maintained, or used, this is a finding.

Fix text

The operator will ensure that a DoD approved PKI software is installed and operating continuously.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
