Application Security and Development Security Technical Implementation Guide
Title
Applications making SAML assertions must use FIPS-approved random numbers in the generation of SessionIndex in the SAML element AuthnStatement.
Description
<VulnDiscussion>A predictable SessionIndex could lead to an attacker computing a future SessionIndex, thereby, possibly compromising the application. Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards approved by the federal government since this provides assurance they have been tested and validated.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><...
Fix Text (Documentation Requirement)
Configure the application to use a FIPS-validated cryptographic module.
