Title
The application must utilize FIPS-validated cryptographic modules when signing application components.
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Applications that distribute components of the application must sign the components to provide an identity assurance to consumers of the application component. Components can include application messages or application code. Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to validate the author of application components. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards approved by the federal gove...
