Title

RHEL 9 must have the crypto-policies package installed.

Control

Verify that the RHEL 9 crypto-policies package is installed with the following command: $ dnf list --installed crypto-policies Example output: crypto-policies.noarch 20240828-2.git626aa59.el9_5 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
