Fix Recommendation

Configure the application to use a FIPS-validated cryptographic module.

Check Contents

Interview the system administrator, review the application components, and the application requirements to determine if the application processes data requiring cryptographic protection.

Review the application documentation and interview the application administrator to identify the cryptographic modules used by the application.

Access the NIST site to determine if the cryptographic modules used by the application have been FIPS-validated.
