The application server must employ approved cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure of information and/or detect changes to information during transmission.
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Preventing the disclosure or modification of transmitted information requires that application servers take measures to employ approved cryptography to protect the information during transmission over the network.
