DocAve must use TLS 1.2, at a minimum, to protect the confidentiality of sensitive data during electronic dissemination using remote access.
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Using older unauthorized versions or incorrectly configuring protocol negotiation makes the gateway vulnerable to known and unknown attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in this protocol. This requirement applies to Transport Layer Security (TLS) gateways (also known as Secure Sockets Layer [SSL] gateways), web servers, and web applications and is not applicable to virtual private network (VPN) devices.

Consult the Microsoft documentation and ensure the .Net Framework on DocAve servers uses a version that supports TLS 1.2. Update if necessary. Configure the DocAve servers to enable TLS 1.2 protocol only: - On the DocAve servers, open Registry Editor. - Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols. - Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and any SSL protocols if present. Configure the DocAve servers to enable strong cryptography setting. - On the DocAve servers, open Registry Editor. - Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319 and verify: "SystemDefaultTlsVersions" = dword:00000001 "SchUseStrongCrypto" = dword:00000001
