System Initialization and Configuration

1. The Crypto Officer must perform the initial configuration. IOS

Advanced Security build (advsecurity) is the only allowable image; no other image

should be loaded.

2. The value of the boot field must be 0x0102. This setting disables break from the console

to the ROM monitor and automatically boots the IOS image. From the "configure

terminal" command line, the Crypto Officer enters the following syntax:

config-register 0x0102

3. The Crypto Officer must create the "enable" password for the Crypto Officer role. The

password must be at least 8 characters (all digits; all lower and upper case letters; and all

special characters except '?' are accepted) and is entered when the Crypto Officer first

engages the "enable" command. The Crypto Officer enters the following syntax at the

"#" prompt:

enable secret [PASSWORD]

4. The Crypto Officer must always assign passwords (of at least 8 characters) to users.

Identification and authentication on the console port is required for Users. From the

"configure terminal" command line, the Crypto Officer enters the following syntax:

line con 0

password [PASSWORD]

5. RADIUS and TACACS+ shared secret key sizes must be at least 8 characters long.

IPSec Requirements and Cryptographic Algorithms

1. The only type of key management that is allowed in FIPS mode is Internet Key Exchange

(IKE).

2. Although the IOS implementation of IKE allows a number of algorithms, only the

following algorithms are allowed in a FIPS 140-2 configuration:

ah-sha-hmac

esp-sha-hmac

esp-Triple-DES

esp-aes

3. The following algorithms are not FIPS approved and should not be used during FIPS-

approved mode:

DES

MD-5 for signing

MD-5 HMAC
