Title

RHEL 10 must have the "crypto-policies" package installed.

Control

Verify RHEL 10 has the "crypto-policies" package installed with the following command: $ sudo dnf list --installed crypto-policies Installed Packages crypto-policies.noarch 20250214-1.gitfd9b9b9.el10_0.1 @rhel-10-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms If the "crypto-policies" package is not installed, this is a finding.

Discussion

Centralized cryptographic policies simplify applying secure ciphers across an operating system and the applications that run on that operating system. Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption to protect data. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000396-GPOS-00176, SRG-OS-000393-GPOS-00173, SRG-OS-000394-GPOS-00174
